Pitt Town Kurmond

Pitt Town and Kurmond (L) are nearby areas in the Hawkesbury region, though they differ in scale and wealth. Pitt Town is larger and more affluent, with a typical household income of $2,747 per week and 42.5% of homes earning $3,000 or more. It is also more dynamic, as 48.1% of residents moved there in the last five years. In contrast, Kurmond (L) is a much smaller area where people are more likely to have no religion (39.9%) and a higher share of residents hold bachelor degrees (21.6%). While Kurmond (L) has better access to schools and parks, Pitt Town is far higher for those within walking distance of groceries and health services.

These two areas have tracked in opposite directions since 2011. The gap in household income has widened, while the difference in the proportion of people aged 65 and over has narrowed. Despite these shifts, the two places share a similar core; they have the same typical resident age of 37 and both are described as somewhat walkable. Both areas also have a very high share of separate houses and similar rates of home ownership, with about 34% owned outright.
