Bredbo Shannons Flat

Bredbo and Shannons Flat are two nearby New South Wales areas with very different characters. Bredbo is more active and accessible, with a typical resident aged 43 and a walkability score of 3.6 (mostly car-dependent). It has more people working or looking for work (68.6%) and far more residents in de facto relationships (18.5%). Shannons Flat is much older, with a typical resident aged 54 and a far higher share of seniors aged 65 and over (39.1%). It is a car-dependent area where 62.1% of homes are owned outright, compared to 33.1% in Bredbo.

A gap in home ownership has widened over time, as Shannons Flat has far more residents who own their homes outright. Despite this, both areas are identical in that every single home is a separate detached house and no one commutes by public transport. They also share similar rates of volunteering, with about a quarter of people in both areas giving their time. Both areas sit well below the national figure for homes within a 15-minute walk of health services, as neither has any within that distance.
