It has more small schools and a higher number of businesses. Bli Bli is more connected to transport and services, with 74.6% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport, compared to just 36.2% in Palmwoods. Bli Bli also has much larger schools and a higher share of people caring for children unpaid (30.8%).
