Bow Bowing Minto

Minto and Bow Bowing are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different layouts. Minto is a larger, more urban place where 50.8% of people use a language other than English at home and 37.7% of households rent. It is described as somewhat walkable, with 54.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. Bow Bowing is more residential and car-dependent, consisting almost entirely of separate houses (99.8%). It has a wealthier profile, with a typical weekly household income of $2,108, which is well higher than Minto's $1,646.

The two areas share a similar proportion of First Nations people, who make up 3.1% of the population in both places. They also have almost identical rates of residents with long-term health conditions and those who have served in the Defence Force. While they share these traits, the gap in housing is stark, as Bow Bowing has far more homes owned outright and a much higher share of large houses with three or more bedrooms.
