Bensville Kincumber

Kincumber and Bensville are neighbouring areas with very different layouts and residents. Kincumber is more walkable (somewhat walkable) and serves as a local hub, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of schools, groceries and health services. It is also much older, with 30.8% of people aged 65 and over and a far higher share of people living alone (32.3%). In contrast, Bensville is mostly car-dependent and consists almost entirely of separate houses, with 98.6% being detached. Bensville has a wealthier profile, where the typical weekly household income is $2,176, compared to $1,321 in Kincumber.

Both areas share a very similar social makeup, including nearly identical shares of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and a similar unemployment rate. They also track closely on everyday costs, with typical monthly home-loan payments and drive times to the city being almost the same. While they are similar in these respects, the gap in housing remains wide, as Bensville has far more large homes with four or more bedrooms.
