Maitland Oxley

Oxley and Maitland are both New South Wales areas but have very different profiles. Oxley is a much older area, where the typical resident is 49 and 27.0% of people are aged 65 or over. In contrast, Maitland is younger, with a typical age of 36 and only 15.5% of people aged 65 or over. This age gap is reflected in their housing and wealth; Oxley has far more homes owned outright (45.9%), while Maitland has a higher share of larger homes with three or more bedrooms (84.7%) and a typical weekly household income that is far higher at $1,766 compared to $1,103 in Oxley.

The gap in typical ages has widened since 2011, growing from a difference of 2 years to 13 years. Despite this, the two areas are almost identical in the share of people born overseas (9.2%) and the proportion of people who speak little or no English (around 0.3% to 0.7%). They also share similar rates of commuting by public transport and an almost identical number of people per bedroom (0.80).
