Kurri Kurri Killingworth

Kurri Kurri and Killingworth (L) are two nearby New South Wales areas with very different scales and lifestyles. Kurri Kurri is a larger hub where renting is far more common (29.1% compared to 4.6% in Killingworth (L)) and many more people have moved in recently (41.5% versus 24.3%). It is also more walkable; for example, 57.8% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school, while no homes in Killingworth (L) share that access. In contrast, Killingworth (L) has a wealthier profile, with a typical weekly household income of $2,108, which is well higher than the $1,458 seen in Kurri Kurri.

Both areas share a similar level of volunteerism and very similar rates of people speaking little or no English. They also track closely in the amount of unpaid housework residents do and the number of people per bedroom. While Killingworth (L) has seen its share of high-income households grow further away from Kurri Kurri since 2011, the gap in the number of people living alone has narrowed.
