Dunmore Flinders

Flinders (NSW) and Dunmore (NSW) are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Flinders is a more densely populated hub where 24% of homes are rented and 23.1% of residents can walk to groceries within 15 minutes. In contrast, Dunmore is sparsely populated and mostly made up of detached houses, with 94.6% of homes being separate houses. Dunmore has a much higher share of homes owned outright at 44.1%, while Flinders has a higher proportion of people born overseas (15.8%) and those using another language at home (15.4%).

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to typical household income, which sits around $2,100 to $2,200 a week. This shared economic baseline exists despite other differences, such as the typical resident being noticeably older in Dunmore (41) than in Flinders (36). While both are roughly 80 minutes from the city, they rely on different transport; Flinders is almost entirely dependent on buses, whereas Dunmore relies heavily on trains.
