Rhodes Putney

Rhodes and Putney are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Rhodes is a high-density hub where 95.1% of homes are flats or apartments, while Putney is dominated by separate houses (83.9%). This reflects a huge gap in lifestyles: Rhodes is much younger, with a typical resident aged 32, and is far more diverse, with 72.2% of people born overseas. Putney is older, with a typical age of 43 and a much higher share of seniors (18.7% compared to 6.4% in Rhodes), and has a higher proportion of households earning $3,000 or more per week.

These two areas have tracked differently since 2011, with Rhodes seeing much higher population growth of 12.4% compared to just 0.8% in Putney. Despite these divergent trends, they share a similar level of overall advantage and high marks for education and job skills. Both areas are also very well located for commuters, with a similar 15 to 16 minute drive time to the city and a short one-minute walk to the nearest transport stop.
