Greta Louth Park

Greta and Louth Park (L) are nearby New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Louth Park (L) is a high-earning area where the typical household income is $3,429 a week and 24.1% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Greta is more accessible for pedestrians, with a somewhat walkable score of 4.3, whereas Louth Park (L) is car-dependent. Greta also has a much higher share of people in de facto relationships (17.4% compared to 7.1%) and a larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population (9.3% versus 3.0%).

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart across several key measures. The gap in typical household income has grown significantly, and Louth Park (L) has seen its lead in university qualifications and Year 12 completion widen. Despite these diverging trends, they remain similar in other ways; both have about the same share of children under 15 (around 23%) and an almost identical proportion of residents born overseas.
