Raymond Terrace and Seaham (L) are nearby New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Seaham (L) is much wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $2,250 compared to $1,282 in Raymond Terrace. This is reflected in the housing, as 100% of homes in Seaham (L) are separate houses, and renting is rare at just 2.9%.

Their paths have diverged significantly since 2011. The income gap has widened, and the difference in rental rates has grown from a 7.4% gap to a 36.5% gap.
