Braidwood Reidsdale

Braidwood and Reidsdale are nearby New South Wales areas with very different layouts. Braidwood is a more developed hub where 69.2% of homes are in a 15-minute-city walkshed and the area is rated as somewhat walkable. In contrast, Reidsdale is car-dependent and no homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school, park, or shop. There are also notable gaps in education and work: a far higher share of Reidsdale adults have a bachelor degree or higher (39.6% compared to 25.7% in Braidwood) and more people work or look for work in Reidsdale (69.8% compared to 54.8% in Braidwood).

Both areas share a typical resident age of 50 years and very similar typical weekly family incomes of around $2,000. This shared age profile is reflected in the housing market, where both areas have a high share of homes owned outright, though this is far higher in Reidsdale at 64.4%. While they share these core demographics, Reidsdale has seen a much higher increase in people working from home, with 31.7% doing so compared to 17.1% in Braidwood.
