Bom Bom South Grafton
South Grafton and Bom Bom are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. South Grafton is a larger residential hub where the typical resident is 40, and homes are more crowded with an average of 2.4 people per dwelling. In contrast, Bom Bom is sparsely populated and largely non-residential; its few residents are far older at a typical age of 57. There is also a significant wealth gap, with typical weekly personal incomes far higher in Bom Bom ($1,625) than in South Grafton ($526).
These two places have diverged sharply in their accessibility. South Grafton is somewhat walkable, with 85% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport, while Bom Bom is car-dependent. However, they remain alike in other ways, such as having the same typical weekly rent of $280 and similar terrain slopes. The gap in public transport access remains a stark divide between the two neighbours.
