Terrigal The Entrance

Terrigal and The Entrance are neighbouring areas on the Central Coast with similar population sizes. The biggest difference is their layout; The Entrance is much more walkable, with 63.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a "15-minute-city" hub compared to 38.9% in Terrigal. This easier access extends to schools, groceries, and health services, which are all far higher in The Entrance. Terrigal has a more affluent profile, with a typical resident who is noticeably older at 45 and a higher share of people earning $2,000 or more a week (14.5% compared to 8.8% in The Entrance).

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in different directions across several key measures. While the age gap has narrowed, the gap in home ownership and working from home has widened. Both areas remain quite similar in other ways, such as having a nearly identical share of children under 15 and a similar number of people per home. Both are also noticeably older than the national figure, though they differ in their housing, with separate houses being well higher in Terrigal.
