Ellalong Paxton

Ellalong and Paxton are neighbouring areas with similar population sizes, but they differ in how people move and live. Paxton is more walkable, with more homes within a 15-minute walk of a park (88.3% compared to 76.4% in Ellalong) and better street connectivity. In contrast, Ellalong has a more developed public transport network, with more stops and a higher number of weekly departures per 1,000 people. There is also a gap in education and employment: First Nations Year 12 completion is far higher in Ellalong (35.6%) than in Paxton (24.3%), while full-time employment is well higher in Paxton at 58.0%.

These two areas are very similar in their financial and social makeup. Typical household incomes are nearly identical, sitting around $1,690 a week, and both have about the same share of volunteers and former Defence Force members. This shared economic profile is consistent across both places, even as other gaps persist, such as the higher share of people with no religion in Paxton.
