Grosses Plain Thredbo

Thredbo and Grosses Plain are two nearby areas with very different layouts and populations. Thredbo is a very walkable place where nearly all homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, and parks. It has a younger population with a typical age of 37 and more one-parent families (11.3%). Grosses Plain is car-dependent and sparsely populated, with a typical age of 49. Residents there earn a far higher typical weekly income of $2,750, compared to $1,666 in Thredbo, and a much higher share (32.4%) were born overseas.

These two areas have tracked differently over time, with a widening gap in how people get around and live. While Thredbo is a hub for accommodation and food services where over half the workforce walks to work, Grosses Plain is dominated by car use. They do share some similarities, such as having very similar typical weekly rents of around $382 to $400 and a nearly identical rate of long-term health conditions. Both areas also have no public transport stops or departures per 1,000 people.
