Alstonville Tuckombil

Alstonville and Tuckombil are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different profiles. Alstonville is a more populated centre where residents are far older, with a typical age of 51 and a high share of people aged 65 and over (32.3%). It is also a more walkable area, described as somewhat walkable, with 61.9% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services. In contrast, Tuckombil is car-dependent and has a much higher proportion of high-income households, with 28.1% earning $3,000 or more a week compared to 11.9% in Alstonville.

These two areas have tracked similarly in some ways, such as having almost identical typical weekly rents of around $370 to $380. However, the gap in lifestyle and accessibility is stark, with Alstonville offering far more walkable amenities and public transport options. This contrast is further highlighted by the fact that while Alstonville has many people living alone (32.0%), Tuckombil is dominated by separate houses and larger families.
