Galston Middle Dural

Galston and Middle Dural are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different layouts. Galston is somewhat walkable, with 41.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and a walkability score of 4.2. In contrast, Middle Dural is car-dependent, with a score of 1.0 and no homes within a 15-minute walk of shops. Other key differences include income and housing; 47.5% of Middle Dural households earn $3,000 or more a week compared to 35.1% in Galston, and Middle Dural has a higher share of homes owned outright at 54.5%.

Since 2011, these two areas have tracked closely in several ways. They share the same typical resident age of 46 and have almost identical proportions of children under 15. They are also effectively alike in how many people provide unpaid care and the time it takes to drive to the city. While they share these common traits, the gap in the number of people living alone has remained wide, with Galston's share far higher at 20.9% compared to 10.8% in Middle Dural.
