Camden Mulgoa

Camden and Mulgoa are two nearby areas in New South Wales that both feature large homes and a high proportion of children. Camden is seeing much more rapid growth, with 49.8% of people moving in over the last five years compared to 31.2% in Mulgoa. This influx of new residents is consistent with Camden having more children under 15 (24.9%) and a higher share of people caring for children unpaid (34.5%). In contrast, Mulgoa is more walkable, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of a school (75.7%), health services (32.9%), and a general 15-minute-city walkshed (56.3%).

Both areas share very similar typical weekly household incomes, sitting at around $2,340. They are also alike in the share of people aged 65 and over, and the proportion of households earning $3,000 or more a week. While they share these core financial traits, some gaps have shifted since 2011; for example, Camden has become significantly more populated by recent arrivals than Mulgoa, and its typical resident is now slightly younger.
