Singleton Surrounds Scone

Scone and Singleton Surrounds are two different types of rural environments. Scone is a more concentrated hub where 62.1% of homes have a 15-minute walk to local amenities, while Singleton Surrounds is car-dependent. Scone is also far more diverse, with 36.1% of people arriving from overseas recently compared to 8.0% in Singleton Surrounds. There are more renters in Scone (29.8% against 17.5% in Singleton Surrounds) and more people living alone (28.8% versus 17.5%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people who rent their homes. They also share very similar unemployment rates of 3.1% and a similar proportion of children under 15. Over time, the gap in the number of people born overseas has widened, and the difference in rental rates has grown since 2011. While Singleton Surrounds has a higher share of detached houses, Scone has much better access to public transport and shops within walking distance.
