Ringwood Ringwood East

Ringwood East and Ringwood are neighbouring areas with distinct characters. Ringwood East is a more established residential pocket where separate houses are far more common (92.1%) and three or more bedrooms are found in 75.0% of homes. It also has a higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (27.6%). In contrast, Ringwood is a busier hub with more renters (38.8%), a higher proportion of people born overseas (35.3%), and significantly better public transport access, with 6.25 stops per 1,000 people compared to 2.56 in Ringwood East.

The gap between these two areas has widened in several ways since 2011. This is most evident in the housing market, with the difference in home ownership and the share of larger houses both increasing. Despite these shifts, they remain alike in some core ways. Both areas have an almost identical share of people aged 65 or over (around 17%) and very similar typical weekly incomes, with Ringwood East at $879 and Ringwood at $822.
