Eden Greigs Flat

Eden and Greigs Flat are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different layouts. Eden is a more urban setting where 30.3% of households rent and 56.5% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Greigs Flat is a car-dependent area where no one rents and almost all homes—98.6%—are separate houses. Greigs Flat also has a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals (19.0% compared to 6.5% in Eden) and far more people caring for children unpaid (32.1% versus 20.2%).

Everyday life in both places shares similar patterns in the languages spoken at home and the share of people who have served in the Defence Force. However, they differ in how people get around; Eden is described as somewhat walkable with a variety of amenities nearby, while Greigs Flat has no public transport stops and is car-dependent. Both areas have populations that are far older than the national figure, though residents in Eden are noticeably older with a typical age of 53.
