Kootingal Mulla Creek

Kootingal and Mulla Creek are nearby New South Wales areas with very different layouts. Kootingal is the larger hub, where 58.8% of homes are in a 15-minute-city walkshed and the area is somewhat walkable. In contrast, Mulla Creek is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of a school or health service. The two areas also differ in their residents: the typical person in Kootingal is 38, while those in Mulla Creek are far older at 53. This is consistent with the high share of people aged 65 and over in Mulla Creek, which is 31.0% compared to 18.6% in Kootingal.

Everyday life shares some similarities in both places, such as typical weekly household incomes and the proportion of adults working or looking for work. They also have similar levels of people born overseas and those who have moved in the last five years. However, work habits differ sharply; 46.9% of people in Mulla Creek work from home, which is far higher than the 11.1% in Kootingal.
