Hinton Seaham

Seaham (L) and Hinton (L) are neighbouring areas with similar population sizes, but they offer very different levels of convenience. Seaham (L) is highly walkable, with 93.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 92.8% near health services, compared to 0.0% for both in Hinton (L). Seaham (L) is also younger, with a typical resident aged 36 and a higher share of children under 15 (21.7% against 17.4% in Hinton (L)). In contrast, Hinton (L) has a higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (8.0% compared to 3.9%) and more adults with bachelor degrees or higher (16.0% against 11.9%).

Many of the gaps between these two places have narrowed since 2011. For example, the difference in typical age has shrunk from 23 years down to 6 years, and the gap in bachelor degree qualifications has fallen from 26.0% to 4.1%. Despite these shifts, they remain alike in other ways; both have similar typical weekly household incomes (around $2,200) and very low rates of public transport use. Both areas also have a very high share of homes with three or more bedrooms, far above the national figure.
