Shannon Vale Stonehenge

Shannon Vale and Stonehenge (NSW) are both sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. Shannon Vale has a much younger feel, with 21.0% of people under 15 compared to just 8.1% in Stonehenge (NSW). Residents in Shannon Vale are more likely to have finished Year 12 (54.1% vs 36.9%) and earn a high weekly income of $3,000 or more (23.1% vs 11.3%). In contrast, Stonehenge (NSW) has a much older population, with a typical resident aged 55, and a higher share of homes owned outright (58.5% vs 44.2%).

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to typical weekly household incomes, which sit around $1,400. They also share a similar housing landscape, where every home is a separate detached house and no one uses public transport to get to work. While Shannon Vale has far more people working from home (29.1% vs 14.9%), both areas remain largely car-dependent with no shops or services within a 15-minute walk.
