Lane Cove Lane Cove North

Lane Cove and Lane Cove North are neighbouring areas with similar populations, but they differ in how people access daily needs. Lane Cove is a walker's paradise, with 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 98.9% near health services. In contrast, Lane Cove North is very walkable, though only 76.8% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 57.1% are near health services. Lane Cove also has a far higher number of schools per 1,000 children (1.25 compared to 0.48) and more detached houses, at 30.3% versus 23.0% in Lane Cove North.

These differences in local layout stand alongside many shared traits, as both areas have almost identical typical weekly household incomes and similar levels of university qualifications. However, the gap in accessibility is widening, as Lane Cove has seen a grow in the share of homes with a 15-minute-city walkshed. Both areas remain far above the national figure for overseas births, though this is well higher in Lane Cove North at 43.2%.
