South Windsor Windsor Downs

South Windsor and Windsor Downs are neighbouring areas in the Hawkesbury region, but they differ sharply in demographic and financial profiles. South Windsor is a younger area where the typical resident is 34 and one-parent families are far more common (24.6%). In contrast, residents are far older in Windsor Downs, with a typical age of 49. This gap extends to income and housing; typical weekly household income is far higher in Windsor Downs at $2,629 compared to $1,466 in South Windsor, and a far higher share of homes in Windsor Downs are owned outright (54.3%).

Both areas are effectively alike in the very small share of people who speak little or no English. This similarity stands out against a landscape of differences, such as South Windsor's better access to public transport and a higher number of people who have moved recently. While South Windsor has more townhouses and rentals, Windsor Downs is dominated by separate houses, with a far higher share of homes featuring five or more bedrooms.
