Lagoon Grass Lismore

Lismore (NSW) and Lagoon Grass are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Lismore (NSW) is a high-density hub where 90% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed and the walkability score is a walker's paradise. In contrast, Lagoon Grass is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of a school or grocery store. Family life also differs; Lagoon Grass has a far higher share of children under 15 (34.7% compared to 15.8%) and far more people caring for children unpaid (46.3% versus 21.1%).

These two areas share a similar profile in several ways, including a nearly identical proportion of First Nations residents (around 6%) and typical weekly rents that are almost the same, at $280 in Lismore (NSW) and $300 in Lagoon Grass. While they share these basics, some gaps are widening, such as the difference in working habits. Now, 35% of people in Lagoon Grass work from home, which is far higher than the 10.1% in Lismore (NSW).
