Newcastle The Entrance

Newcastle and The Entrance are two populated New South Wales areas with distinct characters. Newcastle is a highly walkable walker's paradise where 32.7% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 17.2% in The Entrance. Residents in Newcastle also have higher typical weekly incomes ($937 versus $732) and are more likely to rent their homes. In contrast, The Entrance has a higher share of separate houses (74.7%) and larger homes, with 76.4% of dwellings having three or more bedrooms compared to 57.4% in Newcastle.

Both areas share a very similar unemployment rate, which sits at around 4.5%. They also have nearly identical typical monthly mortgage payments, around $2,000.
