Bathurst Millthorpe

Bathurst and Millthorpe (L) are two nearby New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Bathurst is a larger hub with a more mobile population, where 44.2% of people moved there in the last five years and 15.4% arrived recently from overseas. It is much more accessible for daily needs, with 71.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Millthorpe (L) is a smaller area where residents are noticeably older, with a typical age of 40. It has a higher share of university-educated adults (25.5%) and more people earning $2,000 or more a week (14.4%).

These two places share several core characteristics, including a nearly identical share of people aged 65 and over and very similar full-time employment rates. While Millthorpe (L) has a higher share of people with degrees and higher typical incomes, the gap in those measures has shifted since 2011. Meanwhile, the difference in overseas arrivals has widened significantly, as Bathurst has become a much more common destination for new arrivals compared to Millthorpe (L).
