Tuncurry Laurieton - Bonny Hills

Laurieton - Bonny Hills and Tuncurry are two New South Wales areas with very different layouts. Laurieton - Bonny Hills is a larger, more car-dependent area where detached houses are far more common, at 84.4% compared to 54.1% in Tuncurry. It also has a higher share of people who finished Year 12 (37.6% versus 26.7%) and has seen strong growth, with its population rising by 8.6% since 2021. In contrast, Tuncurry is very walkable, with 96.9% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport, while only 43.3% of homes in Laurieton - Bonny Hills have that same access.
