Lismore Richmond Hill

Lismore (NSW) and Richmond Hill (L) are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Richmond Hill (L) is a wealthier, older community where residents are far older (typical age 52 compared to 41 in Lismore (NSW)) and far more likely to own their homes outright (55.8% versus 33.0%). Typical weekly household incomes are also far higher in Richmond Hill (L) at $2,006, while Lismore (NSW) is $1,230. In contrast, Lismore (NSW) is a more accessible hub; it is somewhat walkable and has far more people living alone (34.4%) or in one-parent families (23.7%).

Daily life shares some similarities, as both areas have nearly identical rates of people who served in the Defence Force and those who speak little or no English. However, the gap in household wealth has widened since 2011, and Richmond Hill (L) has become increasingly distinct from Lismore (NSW) in its housing. While 100% of homes in Richmond Hill (L) are separate houses, Lismore (NSW) has a much higher share of renters and a population that is well above the national figure for those who identify as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander.
