Camden Haven Grafton

Grafton and Camden Haven are two New South Wales areas with similar population sizes but very different characters. Residents are far older in Camden Haven, where the typical age is 58 and 38% of people are seniors, compared to Grafton's typical age of 43. Grafton has a much higher share of one-parent families (23.9% versus 13.3%) and a larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population (10.4% versus 4.4%). It is also far more walkable, with 83% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport, while only 43.3% of homes in Camden Haven have that access.

The gap in age has widened since 2011, when the two areas were nearly the same age. Despite this, they share very similar typical weekly household incomes of around $1,100 and roughly the same percentage of people who do not follow a religion. Both areas also have a similar number of people per home, and the share of people born overseas is only slightly higher in Camden Haven.
