Campbelltown Macquarie Fields

Macquarie Fields and Campbelltown are two nearby areas in New South Wales with distinct profiles. Macquarie Fields is far more culturally diverse, with 41.9% of people born overseas and 46.2% using a language other than English at home. It also has a better-qualified workforce, as the share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher is far higher at 26.4%, compared to 16.2% in Campbelltown. This is consistent with a higher share of households in Macquarie Fields earning $3,000 or more a week.

These two areas have tracked in opposite directions since 2011, as the gaps in education, income, and overseas birth have all widened or flipped. However, they share a similar feel in some ways; both are described as somewhat walkable and have almost identical typical weekly rents, around $375 to $400. They also have very similar rates of volunteering and unemployment, which both sit close to the national figures.
