Bunyan Polo Flat

Bunyan and Polo Flat are neighbouring areas in New South Wales, though they differ in size and accessibility. Bunyan is larger with 192 residents, while Polo Flat is sparsely populated with just 13 people. There is a wide gap in housing costs, with typical weekly rent far higher in Bunyan at $400 compared to $180 in Polo Flat. While Bunyan has an older typical age of 48, Polo Flat offers much better access to basics, with six schools within 3km and a walkability score that is mostly car-dependent, whereas Bunyan is described as car-dependent.

Both areas are effectively alike in that no homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, or schools.
