Maitland Tomago

Maitland (NSW) is a large, growing area with a young population, where children under 15 make up 21.2% of residents. In contrast, Tomago (L) is sparsely populated and much older, with a typical resident aged 60 and 41.3% of people aged 65 and over. Maitland (NSW) is also more affluent and qualified, with a typical weekly family income of $2,039 and 43.5% of residents completing Year 12, while the typical family income in Tomago (L) is $1,107 and only 15.6% finished Year 12.

Both areas are virtually identical in the share of people who served in the Defence Force, at 4.1%. This shared detail sits alongside a stark contrast in living arrangements; Tomago (L) has a very high number of people living alone (58.3%) and homes owned outright (56.7%), whereas Maitland (NSW) is more likely to have larger families in detached houses. This is consistent with Maitland (NSW) being far more walkable, with many more homes within a 15-minute walk of schools, health services, and groceries.
