Cumbalum Tintenbar

Cumbalum and Tintenbar (L) are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different profiles. Cumbalum is a younger, more transient place where the typical resident is 37 and 53.3% of people moved in within the last five years. In contrast, residents in Tintenbar (L) are far older, with a typical age of 47 and 24.8% of the population aged 65 and over. Home ownership also differs sharply; 57.1% of homes in Tintenbar (L) are owned outright, compared with just 28.9% in Cumbalum. This contrast extends to the local environment, with Cumbalum having far more homes within a 15-minute walk of a park, while Tintenbar (L) has more homes within walking distance of schools and health services.

These two areas are almost identical in several ways, such as having the same typical monthly mortgage payment of $2,167 and similar rates of long-term health conditions. However, some gaps are widening. The difference in home ownership has grown significantly since 2011, as has the gap in those working or looking for work, which is now far higher in Cumbalum.
