Bellbird Paxton

Bellbird and Paxton are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different transport and housing profiles. Bellbird is much more connected, with far more public transport stops and 355 weekly departures per 1,000 people compared to 105.3 in Paxton. It also has larger schools, with an average size of 487 students compared to just 98 in Paxton. However, Paxton is more walkable for daily needs, as 75.9% of its homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, while Bellbird has none.

These two areas share a very similar makeup of people, with almost identical shares of First Nations residents, people born overseas, and those needing daily help. Both areas have an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population of around 10%, and similar typical incomes for First Nations people. While they are alike in these areas, other gaps are shifting, such as the number of people moving into the area, which is well higher in Paxton.
