Camden Haven Tamworth

Tamworth and Camden Haven are two distinct New South Wales regions with very different demographics. Camden Haven is far older, with a typical resident aged 58 compared to 37 in Tamworth, and a much larger share of seniors (38% versus 19%). This age gap is reflected in home ownership; 52.7% of Camden Haven homes are owned outright, while Tamworth has a far higher rental rate at 37.5%. Tamworth is also much more diverse and active, with far more recent overseas arrivals (31.4% compared to 4.4%) and a higher proportion of adults working or looking for work.

Both areas share a preference for detached housing, which makes up about 84% of homes in each place. They also have very similar rates of mental health conditions and a nearly identical lack of public transport use for commuting. However, the gaps between them have shifted significantly since 2011, particularly in age and income. While Tamworth's typical personal income is now well higher than Camden Haven's by $201 a week, the difference in the typical age of residents has flipped from a small 3-year gap to a 21-year difference.
