Leppington Rossmore

Leppington and Rossmore (NSW) are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Leppington is a much younger area, with a typical resident aged 32 and a population that is far more mobile, as 68.7% moved here in the last five years. It is also more highly qualified, with 28.2% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 9.6% in Rossmore (NSW). In contrast, Rossmore (NSW) has a notably older population, with the typical resident aged 40, and a much higher share of homes owned outright at 46.0%.

Both areas are almost identical in their proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. They also share similar home sizes and a nearly identical commute time to the city. However, their accessibility differs greatly; Leppington is mostly car-dependent but has far better access to public transport and parks, while Rossmore (NSW) is car-dependent. This gap in walkability is significant, as 86.2% of Leppington homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport, compared to just 21.2% in Rossmore (NSW).
