Chapel Hill Sherwood

Chapel Hill and Sherwood are neighbouring areas with very different housing and lifestyles. Chapel Hill is dominated by large family homes, with 97.2% being separate houses and 96.3% having three or more bedrooms. It is also wealthier, with 46.1% of households earning $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, Sherwood is much more varied, with 30.3% of homes being flats or apartments and a higher proportion of renters at 35.7%.

Both areas have similar unemployment rates that sit close to the national figure. While they share a similar level of full-time employment, their development patterns differ. Sherwood is a walker's paradise with a score of 8.5, while Chapel Hill is only somewhat walkable at 5.6. This gap in walkability is clear in the local amenities, as nearly every home in Sherwood is within a 15-minute walk of schools and health services, compared to just half or two-thirds in Chapel Hill.
