Bohnock Old Bar

Old Bar and Bohnock are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different scales and layouts. Old Bar is a larger hub where 29.9% of people live alone and one-parent families are far more common at 17.2%. It is described as somewhat walkable, with many homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries (58.9%) and schools (45.4%). Bohnock is a much smaller, car-dependent area where every home is a separate house and more people work from home (25.0% compared to 9.9% in Old Bar).

While the two areas share a similar proportion of children under 15 and typical weekly incomes, the gap in how people live is stark. For example, the difference in home ownership is wide, as 26.1% of Old Bar households rent while no one in Bohnock rents. This contrast in living arrangements and walkability is far more pronounced than in the past, as these gaps have generally widened or remained large since the last census.
