Figtree Mangerton

Figtree and Mangerton are neighbouring areas in Wollongong with very different levels of convenience. Mangerton is very walkable, with 71.6% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 100% within reach of a park. Figtree is only somewhat walkable, and far fewer people can walk to the shops (31.1%). Figtree has a higher share of separate houses (82.4% compared to 71.7% in Mangerton) and a larger population of older residents, with 19% aged 65 or over compared to 13.9% in Mangerton.

Both areas share a very similar typical weekly household income of around $2,100 and have almost the same share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. They are also alike in the number of people per home and the typical monthly mortgage payment. While they share these basics, Mangerton has a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree (36.8%) than Figtree (28.0%), and a higher proportion of households earning over $3,000 a week.
