Leonay Mulgoa

Leonay and Mulgoa are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney that differ mainly in their layout and accessibility. Leonay is more compact, with 85.5% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport and a much higher share of residents who have completed Year 12 (59.6% compared to 48.4% in Mulgoa). Mulgoa is more spread out and has a far higher number of schools per 1,000 children (5.19 compared to 1.89 in Leonay). Leonay also has a far higher share of people with no religion at 35.9%, while Mulgoa's figure is 20.4%.

These two areas are very similar in other ways, sharing the same typical resident age of 41 and almost identical typical weekly household incomes of around $2,500. They also have nearly the same rate of people providing unpaid care. While both have a high share of large homes, Mulgoa has a higher proportion of homes with five or more bedrooms, which is consistent with it being a larger, more rural-style area.
