Berry Gerroa

Berry and Gerroa (L) are nearby New South Wales areas with very different levels of local amenity. Berry is a larger hub where most homes are within a 15-minute walk of schools (67.5%), groceries (63.9%), and health services (56.4%), all of which are nonexistent within that distance in Gerroa (L). Gerroa (L) is smaller and more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $1,961, which is well higher than the $1,417 typical in Berry. Gerroa (L) also has a more qualified workforce, with 35.5% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 27.5% in Berry.

These two areas have tracked closely in some ways since 2011, though many gaps have shifted. The typical age of residents in Berry is now only 3 years older than in Gerroa (L), a significant narrowing from a 16-year gap in 2011. Both areas share similar home sizes and roughly half of all homes in both are owned outright. However, the gap in university qualifications has widened as Gerroa (L) has seen a larger increase in bachelor degrees.
