East Lismore Wyrallah

East Lismore and Wyrallah are neighbouring areas with very different characters. East Lismore is a more densely populated hub where it is common to live alone (34.5%) or in a one-parent family (23.5%), and renting is far more frequent at 38.2%. It is also a welcoming spot for new arrivals from overseas, who make up 12.4% of the population. In contrast, Wyrallah is more rural and car-dependent, with a higher share of people owning their homes outright (42.9%) and living in separate houses (99.4%), most of which have three or more bedrooms.

Both areas are very similar in how many people work from home and have almost identical rates of people who speak little or no English. While East Lismore is somewhat walkable and has many public transport options, Wyrallah is car-dependent with no residents within a short walk of a stop. This contrast is also seen in the local economy, with full-time employment far higher in Wyrallah (65.7%) than in East Lismore (54.1%).
