Lisarow Mount Elliot

Lisarow and Mount Elliot (NSW) are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Lisarow is a larger centre where 76.2% of homes are within a 10 minute walk of public transport, making it somewhat walkable. In contrast, Mount Elliot (NSW) is car-dependent, with no homes within walking distance of transport, schools, or groceries. There are also clear financial gaps; Mount Elliot (NSW) has a much higher share of university degrees (35.3% compared to 22.2% in Lisarow) and far more homes owned outright (57.7% versus 33.0% in Lisarow).

Since 2011, these two areas have tracked together in several ways, maintaining very similar typical weekly personal incomes and family earnings. They also share a similar percentage of people with long-term health conditions. While the gaps in wealth and walkability remain, both areas sit near the national figure for people per home, with Lisarow at 2.9 and Mount Elliot (NSW) at 3.0.
