Camden Liverpool

Camden and Liverpool are two large, nearby areas in New South Wales with very different profiles. Camden is a wealthier, more suburban area where the typical household earns $2,340 a week and 92.5% of homes are separate houses. In contrast, Liverpool is far more diverse and urban, with 48.0% of people born overseas and a typical household income of $1,459. Living patterns also differ sharply: Camden has a high share of large homes and more people caring for children unpaid, while Liverpool has a much higher proportion of renters.

Both areas share a similar age structure, with about 11% of their populations aged 65 and over, and a nearly identical number of people per home. These commonalities exist alongside a widening gap in wealth and housing. Since 2011, the difference in typical incomes and the share of detached houses has grown significantly, with Camden pulling further ahead in both measures while Liverpool has become increasingly distinct as a very walkable urban hub.
