Longman is much more walkable and urban, with 61.2% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport compared to 18.6% in Flynn. The two areas also differ in their schooling: Longman has much larger schools, with an average size of 700 students, while Flynn has many more small schools, with a typical size of 241. In contrast, Flynn has a higher share of people earning $2,000 or more a week (11.9% against 6.6% in Longman) and a much higher rate of volunteering (16.9% compared to 11.1%).
