Singleton North Rothbury

Singleton and North Rothbury are two nearby New South Wales areas with very different lifestyles. Singleton is a more established hub where 28.1% of homes are owned outright and the area is somewhat walkable. In contrast, North Rothbury is much more car-dependent and feels like a newer own-your-home suburb; it has a far higher share of separate houses (95.6%) and many more recent arrivals, with 75.2% of people moving in during the last five years. North Rothbury also has a younger population, with a typical age of 30 compared to 35 in Singleton.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of people who identify as having no religion. They are also similar in their proportions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents and people born overseas. However, the gap in typical weekly incomes has widened significantly since 2011, with North Rothbury now seeing a typical income of $1,047, which is well higher than the $796 found in Singleton.
