Camden Haven vs Singleton

Urban Area comparison ≈ 180 km apart · Camden Haven profile · Singleton profile

Camden Haven Singleton

Camden Haven and Singleton are two very different New South Wales regions. Camden Haven is a much older area where the typical resident is 58 and 38% of people are aged 65 and over. This is reflected in the housing and health data, with 52.7% of homes owned outright and a much higher rate of long-term health conditions (41.6%). In contrast, Singleton is far younger, with a typical age of 34, and has a much higher proportion of working adults (64.6%) and children under 15 (20.9%). This workforce helps explain the higher incomes in Singleton, where the typical household earns $1,935 a week compared to $1,089 in Camden Haven.

Both areas share a similar housing style, as detached houses make up about 84% of homes in each place. They also have very similar rates of unemployment, sitting around 4% to 5%. While they are alike in these areas, the gap in age and income has widened significantly since 2011. For example, the difference in typical household income was $258 a decade ago, but has grown to $846.
