Bushells Ridge Woongarrah

Woongarrah and Bushells Ridge are neighbouring areas with very different scales and layouts. Woongarrah is a populous hub where the typical resident is 36 and typical weekly household income is $2,255. In contrast, Bushells Ridge is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with a much older typical resident of 60 and a typical weekly household income of $1,125. This difference in activity extends to the streets, where Woongarrah is somewhat walkable and has many more people living within a short walk of schools, parks and health services.

A gap in street connectivity and accessibility between the two has remained wide, as Bushells Ridge is essentially car-dependent compared to the more connected Woongarrah. Despite this, both areas share a similar drive time to the city of around 66 to 69 minutes and have almost identical numbers of people per bedroom. They also sit close to each other in terms of typical weekly rent, with Woongarrah at $510 and Bushells Ridge at $450.
