Green Point Wallis Lake

Green Point (Mid-Coast - NSW) and Wallis Lake are neighbouring areas with very different populations. Green Point is more developed, with 522 people, while Wallis Lake is sparsely populated with only 6 residents. There are stark differences in wealth and age; the typical resident in Wallis Lake is far older at 72 compared to 54 in Green Point (Mid-Coast - NSW), and typical weekly family income is far higher in Wallis Lake at $2,750 compared to $1,353 in Green Point (Mid-Coast - NSW).

Both areas are largely lacking in local services, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, or schools. This shared lack of amenities exists alongside a gap in transport and layout. Green Point (Mid-Coast - NSW) has more public transport stops and a higher walkability score, though both remain car-dependent. While Green Point (Mid-Coast - NSW) has more people per home and more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents, both areas sit well below the national figure for typical weekly household income.
