Cessnock Lochinvar

Cessnock and Lochinvar (L) are nearby New South Wales areas with very different scales and profiles. Cessnock is a much larger hub where renting is far more common (34.1% compared to 18.7% in Lochinvar (L)) and one-parent families are far more numerous (26.2% versus 15.4%). Lochinvar (L) has a wealthier profile, with a typical household income of $1,970 a week compared to $1,254 in Cessnock, and a much higher share of large homes with three or more bedrooms (87.4% versus 75.5%).

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally narrowed, particularly for typical incomes and the share of people renting. They share some core traits, such as an identical 11.8% Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population and similar rates of mental health conditions. While Lochinvar (L) is more walkable in terms of school access, Cessnock is far better for those walking to groceries or health services.
