Blairmount Gregory Hills

Gregory Hills and Blairmount are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Gregory Hills is a larger, growing hub where 70.4% of people moved in during the last five years, with a high share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (30.6%). It is very walkable, with 73.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services. In contrast, Blairmount is smaller and more residential, with a much higher share of one-parent families (27.1%) and more people who own their homes outright (18.5% compared to 8.0% in Gregory Hills).

Both areas share a similar daily reality in that their residents have almost identical rates of volunteering and mental health conditions, and they take about the same time to drive to the city. These similarities exist alongside a widening gap in mobility and services, as Gregory Hills has become far more connected with many more intersections and amenities within walking distance. While Gregory Hills is much younger, with a typical age of 30, Blairmount's typical resident is slightly older at 33.
