Maitland Brandy Hill

Maitland (NSW) and Brandy Hill (L) are nearby areas with very different lifestyles. Maitland (NSW) is a larger, somewhat walkable hub where 30.5% of homes are rented and the typical resident is 36. There is a higher share of one-parent families (17.1%) and people living alone (23.3%) compared to Brandy Hill (L). In contrast, Brandy Hill (L) is a car-dependent area where residents are far older, with a typical age of 48. It is wealthier and more stable, with 47.6% of homes owned outright and 36.3% of households earning $3,000 or more a week.

These two areas have tracked differently over time, and the gap in home ownership has widened. They do share some traits, such as similar levels of people born overseas and typical personal incomes. While Maitland (NSW) has far more access to parks, schools, and health services within a 15-minute walk, both areas have very similar rates of people who speak little or no English.
