Barnsley Holmesville

Barnsley and Holmesville are neighbouring areas in Lake Macquarie, but they offer very different levels of convenience. Holmesville is somewhat walkable, with 99% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport and 23.3% within reach of groceries. Barnsley is mostly car-dependent, with only 1.1% of homes near groceries and a much lower share of homes close to public transport. However, Barnsley has far higher street connectivity, with 78 intersections per square kilometre compared to 42 in Holmesville.

These two areas have tracked closely since 2011, with a widening gap in how people get around. They share many similarities, including typical weekly household incomes around $1,800 and very similar shares of children under 15. Both areas are well above the national figure for people who identify as having no religion, though this is slightly more common in Holmesville at 48.1%.
