Londonderry Penrith

Londonderry and Penrith are neighbouring areas with distinct profiles. Londonderry is much younger and more culturally diverse, with 30.7% of people born overseas and 30.0% using a language other than English at home. It is also a place of larger family homes, where 84.9% have three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Penrith is more walkable, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of health services (72.1% compared to 38.9% in Londonderry) and a higher number of walkable amenities per 1,000 residents.

While the two areas share similar typical weekly household incomes and education levels, some of the gaps between them are widening. The age difference has grown, with residents now noticeably older in Penrith. This is seen in the share of people aged 65 and over, which is well higher in Penrith at 16.0% compared to 10.8% in Londonderry. Conversely, the gap in housing has narrowed, as Londonderry's lead in separate houses has fallen since 2011.
