Bangor Loftus

Bangor (NSW) and Loftus are neighbouring areas in the Sutherland Shire with similar population sizes. There are stark differences in how people get around; Loftus is much more accessible, with 99.9% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport compared to 82.1% in Bangor (NSW). While Loftus has far more public transport stops and a much higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries (74.3% versus 9.2%), Bangor (NSW) has far higher street connectivity. The two areas also differ in their residents, with Bangor (NSW) having a noticeably older typical age of 43 and a higher share of people born overseas (17.2% compared to 11.7%).

These areas share very similar typical weekly personal incomes, around $940, and almost identical school advantage scores. However, a significant gap is widening in the connectivity of their transit networks, as Loftus provides far more people with access to destinations within 30 and 45 minutes by transit. This is consistent with the far higher number of public transport stops in Loftus, whereas Bangor (NSW) relies entirely on buses for its public transport.
