The First Nations community here is notably young, with a typical age of just 19. However, this group faces significant hurdles, with an unemployment rate of 18.6% and typical household incomes well below the national figure.
Most homes are within a short walk of a park, but only 54.9% of dwellings have a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is far below the New South Wales average of 71.9%. This reflects a lower level of access to schools, health services and groceries on foot.
