Booerie Creek North Lismore

North Lismore and Booerie Creek are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different layouts. North Lismore is more developed and 'somewhat walkable', with 50.6% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a local amenity. In contrast, Booerie Creek is 'car-dependent' and has a much higher share of people with long-term health conditions (46.2% compared to 31.3% in North Lismore). North Lismore also has far more renters (24.3% versus 9.3%) and more people living alone (30.6% versus 20.4%).

These two places share several similarities, including a nearly identical share of people with no religion and similar levels of adults with a bachelor degree or higher. They also have almost the same typical family income, around $1,600 a week. However, the gap in their walkability is stark; while North Lismore has many homes within a short walk of schools and parks, Booerie Creek has none.
