Camden Haven Medowie

Camden Haven and Medowie are two different New South Wales areas. Camden Haven is far older, with a typical resident aged 58 and 38.0% of people aged 65 and over. Medowie has a younger profile, with a typical age of 40 and 21.0% of the population being children under 15. Medowie is also wealthier; the typical weekly household income there is $1,763, which is far higher than the $1,089 typical income in Camden Haven. These differences are reflected in the housing, with homes in Medowie more likely to have three or more bedrooms (86.5%) compared to 71.2% in Camden Haven.

These two areas have tracked in opposite directions since 2011, with gaps in age, income and home ownership all widening or flipping. Despite these shifts, they share a similar reliance on cars, as both have very low rates of commuting by public transport. They also have similar proportions of one-parent families and very few people who speak little or no English. Both areas sit well above the national figure for home ownership, though Camden Haven has a far higher share of homes owned outright at 52.7%.
