Not in any Significant Urban Area Griffith

Not in any Significant Urban Area (NSW) and Griffith are two distinct regions of New South Wales. Not in any Significant Urban Area (NSW) is a far older and more traditional place, where the typical resident is 46 and 43.4% of homes are owned outright. In contrast, Griffith is much more multicultural and diverse, with 26.5% of people born overseas and 27.3% using a language other than English at home. While Not in any Significant Urban Area (NSW) is mostly car-dependent, Griffith is somewhat walkable and has far better access to services, with 90.7% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport.

Many of the differences between these two areas have widened since 2011, including the gap in the proportion of people born overseas. Despite these growing divides, they share some similarities in their housing and education. Both have similar shares of adults with a bachelor degree or higher, and they are nearly identical in their typical monthly mortgage payments and the number of bedrooms in their homes. This shows that while their cultural and social profiles are moving apart, their basic housing costs remain similar.
