Lapstone Leonay

Leonay and Lapstone are neighbouring areas with similar typical incomes and household sizes, but they differ in their professional and educational profiles. Lapstone is far more likely to have residents with a bachelor degree (37.5% compared to 24.0% in Leonay) and a higher share of people working from home (49.1% versus 37.2%). While Lapstone has more walkable amenities and a higher rate of volunteers, Leonay is more likely to have residents caring for children unpaid (30.6% compared to 26.2%) and has a larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population.

Both areas are very similar in their typical weekly household incomes, which sit around $2,300 to $2,400. They also share a similar percentage of people born overseas and those who use another language at home. In terms of housing, both areas have a very high share of homes with three or more bedrooms, far above the national figure. This consistency in home size and income shows that while their professional backgrounds differ, the general standard of living is very similar across this part of the region.
