Mayfield North
4 km²
A stark contrast to state norms, Mayfield North is a largely non-residential area. It is sparsely populated and mostly car-dependent, with very few residents living within walking distance of basic services. Despite this, the area is well-served by a high number of local schools. This makes it a distinct pocket of the Newcastle region where infrastructure for education is plentiful but daily walkability for residents is very low.
