Robertson Kangaroo Valley

Robertson and Kangaroo Valley (L) are nearby New South Wales areas with very different housing and demographics. Robertson is more family-oriented, with 20.1% of people being children under 15 and a far higher share of large homes, 88.5% of which have three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Kangaroo Valley (L) has a much older population with a typical age of 52, and 36.5% of residents live alone. It is also far more walkable, with 95.6% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 92.9% near public transport, while only 50.2% of Robertson homes are within walking distance of food.

The gap in their typical resident's age has narrowed since 2011, falling from 15 years to 8 years. Both areas share a similar typical weekly personal income of around $720 to $750 and very low rates of people who speak little or no English. They also have almost identical rates of one-parent families and people per bedroom. While Robertson has more children and people providing unpaid care, Kangaroo Valley (L) has a higher share of adults with a university degree and more people who volunteer.
