Landervale Merungle Hill

Merungle Hill and Landervale are two rural New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Merungle Hill is more populated and has a more diverse community, where 8.9% of people were born overseas and 7.8% use a language other than English at home. It is also more established in terms of infrastructure, with three schools within 3 km and more people living within walking distance of a park. In contrast, Landervale is sparsely populated and mostly residential, with no overseas-born residents or people using other languages at home. Typical weekly family income is also well higher in Merungle Hill at $1,892, compared to $1,416 in Landervale.

Both areas are very similar in their basic demographics and layout. Residents in both places have the same typical age of 42, and both are described as car-dependent. This shared reliance on vehicles is consistent across the region, as neither area has any homes within a 15-minute walk of public transport, groceries, or health services.
