Cessnock The Entrance

Cessnock and The Entrance are both significant New South Wales residential areas, though they offer very different lifestyles. Cessnock is much more spread out, with separate houses making up 91.5% of homes and a higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents (9.3%). In contrast, The Entrance is more compact and walkable, with 63.2% of homes having a 15-minute-city walkshed. It is also an older area, where the typical resident is 42, compared to 37 in Cessnock, and more people are aged 65 and over (21.3%).

Since 2011, the two areas have diverged in several key ways, with the gap in people working from home widening as The Entrance sees a far higher share (23.9%) than Cessnock (13.9%). Despite these shifts, they remain very similar in many daily realities. Both areas share almost identical typical weekly personal incomes of around $731 and have nearly the same number of people per home. They also both sit well below the national figure for the share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher.
