Leichhardt Rodd Point

Leichhardt and Rodd Point are neighbouring areas with very different housing and social profiles. Leichhardt is a highly walkable area where 40.4% of homes are rented and 51.4% of people have no religion. In contrast, Rodd Point is dominated by detached houses, with 92.4% of homes being separate houses and 47.5% owned outright. While Leichhardt is a walker's paradise, Rodd Point is very walkable, though its residents are noticeably older with a typical age of 44 compared to 37 in Leichhardt.

Both areas are very similar in other ways, sharing almost identical rates of children under 15 and very similar typical family incomes of around $3,500 a week. They also both have every single home within a 10-minute walk of public transport. These shared strengths exist alongside a widening gap in home ownership and tenure, as renting is far more common in Leichhardt than in Rodd Point.
