Belford Greta

Greta (NSW) and Belford are neighbouring areas with very different community profiles. Greta (NSW) is a younger, more populated place where the typical resident is 33, and it is somewhat walkable with 62.1% of homes having a 15-minute-city walkshed. In contrast, Belford is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with a much older typical resident aged 44. Financial gaps are also stark; the typical weekly household income in Belford is $2,833, which is well higher than the $1,929 seen in Greta (NSW).

These two areas have tracked in different directions since 2011, particularly regarding their housing and accessibility. While they share similar drive times to the city and a similar proportion of people who identify as having no religion, the gap in walkability has remained wide. Greta (NSW) is far more connected, with 88.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park, while only 3.7% of homes in Belford have the same access.
