Avondale Dapto

Dapto and Avondale (NSW) are neighbouring areas with very different levels of accessibility. Dapto is very walkable, with a typical resident just 2 minutes from the nearest stop and 69% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Avondale (NSW) is mostly car-dependent, where 0% of homes are within a similar walk of groceries and the usual walk to a stop is 42 minutes. Other key differences include housing and rent; Dapto has a far higher share of separate houses (84.7%) and a typical weekly rent of $400, which is well higher than the $300 typical rent in Avondale (NSW).

These two areas share a similar makeup, with almost identical proportions of children under 15 and people born overseas. They also have a very similar typical weekly household income, sitting around $1,500. However, the gap in walkability is widening, as Dapto's street connectivity and access to schools, health services, and public transport remain far higher than those in Avondale (NSW).
