Bonnyrigg Heights Edensor Park

Edensor Park and Bonnyrigg Heights are neighbouring suburbs with similar populations, but they offer very different levels of convenience. Edensor Park is much more walkable for daily needs, with 61.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 49% near health services, compared to just 35.0% and 7.6% in Bonnyrigg Heights. However, Bonnyrigg Heights has far better access to transport and education, with 7.6 public transport stops per 1,000 people and 2.35 schools per 1,000 children, while Edensor Park has only 3.99 stops and 1.12 schools for those measures.

These two areas are becoming more distinct in how people get around, as the gap in walkability to health and grocery services remains wide.

They also have almost identical proportions of children under 15 and adults with a university degree.
