Camden Keira

Keira and Camden are nearby New South Wales areas with very different lifestyles. Keira is an older community where the typical resident is 40, with more people living alone (24.5%) and more homes owned outright (37.0%). It is also more walkable, with 80.3% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed. In contrast, Camden is much younger, with a typical age of 33 and a higher share of children under 15 (24.9%). Camden is dominated by large, detached houses, with 92.2% of homes having three or more bedrooms, while Keira has a more varied mix of housing.

These two areas have drifted further apart since 2011, particularly regarding home ownership and age. The gap in people living alone and those who own their homes outright has widened, as has the age difference between the two. Despite these shifts, they remain alike in some ways, such as having similar proportions of one-parent families and almost identical rates of public transport use for commuting (1.2%).
