Dundas Valley Rydalmere

Rydalmere and Dundas Valley are neighbouring areas in Parramatta with different layouts. Rydalmere is more walkable, with 99.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, compared to just 39.9% in Dundas Valley. However, Dundas Valley is much better for health services, with 97.0% of homes nearby compared to 25.2% in Rydalmere. There is a stark difference for First Nations residents; those in Rydalmere have far higher typical household incomes ($2,094 vs $1,187) and Year 12 completion rates (35.3% vs 20.0%), although the unemployment rate is far higher in Rydalmere (30.0% vs 13.6%).

These two areas share many core characteristics, from very similar typical household incomes to nearly identical shares of children and seniors. Both are diverse places where many people were born overseas and use a language other than English at home, with these figures sitting far above the national average. While Rydalmere has a higher share of renters and more public transport routes, both areas remain very walkable by national standards.
