Aberglasslyn Melville

Aberglasslyn and Melville (NSW) are neighbours with very different profiles. Aberglasslyn is a larger, younger area where the typical resident is 32, and many people have moved in recently (50.6%). It has a higher share of renters (31.7%) and larger homes, with 95.1% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Melville (NSW) is sparsely populated and much older, with a typical age of 48. Residents there are far more likely to have a university degree (42.0%) and work from home (40.9%).

Both areas are similar in their drive time to the city and have almost identical shares of people living alone. While Aberglasslyn is more connected, with a mostly car-dependent walkability score and better access to parks and shops, Melville (NSW) is strictly car-dependent. This gap in accessibility is stark, as Melville (NSW) has no homes within a 15-minute walk of public transport or groceries, compared to 88.6% and 44.8% in Aberglasslyn.
