Ilarwill Townsend

Townsend and Ilarwill are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different characters. Townsend is a more active hub with a mostly car-dependent walkability score of 3.6, where 94.8% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries. It has a younger population, with 20.5% of people under 15, and far more large homes, as 92.5% have three or more bedrooms. Ilarwill is much quieter and more residential, with residents far older in Ilarwill, where the typical age is 52 compared to 42 in Townsend.

While the two areas share similar typical weekly incomes and family sizes, the gap in their walkability and amenity access remains stark. Many daily habits are alike, as both have about 25% of their population aged 65 or over and almost no one using public transport to commute. However, Ilarwill stands out for its high levels of community contribution, with volunteers far higher in Ilarwill at 25.7% compared to 15.4% in Townsend.
