Lindendale Wollongbar

Wollongbar and Lindendale are neighbouring areas with very different layouts and populations. Wollongbar is a larger hub where the typical resident is 40 and many people have moved in during the last five years (44.6%). It is more developed for pedestrians, with a walkability score of 5.4 (somewhat walkable), and far more homes are large with three or more bedrooms (88.7%). In contrast, Lindendale is a car-dependent area where residents are far older, with a typical age of 49. It has a much higher share of people working from home (36.4%) and a larger proportion of homes owned outright (49.5%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for people with long-term health conditions, at around 31%. They also share very similar typical weekly personal incomes, around $770 to $790. While they are close in these respects, the gap in infrastructure is stark; Wollongbar has far more public transport stops and nearby schools, whereas Lindendale has none within a 15-minute walk.
