Glenquarry Mittagong

Mittagong and Glenquarry are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different characters. Mittagong is a more diverse and mobile hub, where 21.4% of people were born overseas and 32.4% of homes are occupied by a single person. It is also more walkable, with 67.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a "15-minute-city" area. In contrast, Glenquarry is a car-dependent area where everyone lives in a separate house and a much higher 35.4% of households earn $3,000 or more a week. Mortgage costs are also far higher in Glenquarry, with typical monthly payments of $3,500 compared to $2,037 in Mittagong.

Daily life in both places shares some core similarities, such as the same proportion of adults with a bachelor degree or higher at 28.8%. They also have very similar typical weekly personal incomes, around $751 in Mittagong and $787 in Glenquarry. While they share these traits, the gap in how people get around remains stark; Mittagong has far more public transport stops and frequent departures, while Glenquarry remains heavily reliant on cars.
