Warnervale Wyong

Wyong and Warnervale are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Wyong is a very walkable area where residents are far older, with a typical age of 45 and 23.3% aged 65 and over. In contrast, Warnervale is mostly car-dependent and much younger, with a typical age of 34. There are also large gaps in wealth; the typical weekly household income in Warnervale is $1,929, which is far higher than the $1,096 seen in Wyong. This is reflected in the housing, with Warnervale having far more separate houses and large homes with four or more bedrooms.

Both areas share a similar proportion of First Nations people and an almost identical unemployment rate of around 8%. They also have similar numbers of volunteers and people providing unpaid care. While Wyong is far more connected with a high number of shops and health services within a 15-minute walk, Warnervale has a much higher share of adults working or looking for work. The two areas remain distinct in their layout, with Wyong's high density of renters and single-person homes contrasting with Warnervale's preference for larger, owner-occupied houses.
