Camden Haven vs Sydney

Urban Area comparison ≈ 292 km apart · Camden Haven profile · Sydney profile

Camden Haven Sydney

Sydney and Camden Haven are very different New South Wales areas. Sydney is a massive hub where 40.6% of people were born overseas and 40% use a language other than English at home. It is a highly qualified and wealthier area, with a typical weekly household income of $2,119 and 34.6% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher. In contrast, Camden Haven is much older and more residential; the typical resident is 58, and 38% of people are aged 65 or over. Many more people here own their homes outright (52.7%) and live in separate houses (84.4%).

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart across almost every measure. The age gap has widened significantly, and the divide in income and education has grown. While they share similar unemployment rates of about 5%, their everyday lifestyles differ. Sydney is very walkable, with 96.6% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport, while Camden Haven is mostly car-dependent and has a typical weekly household income of $1,089, which is well below the national figure.
