Liverpool Lurnea

Liverpool and Lurnea are neighbouring areas with very different housing and transport profiles. Liverpool is a high-density hub where 65% of homes are flats or apartments and 61.4% of households rent. It is a walker's paradise with 99.1% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Lurnea is dominated by separate houses (74.9%), and 76.1% of homes have three or more bedrooms. Liverpool also has a larger share of overseas-born residents (56.6%) and people who have moved recently (48.0%), compared to 42.3% and 31.9% in Lurnea.

Both areas share a very similar typical weekly household income, with Liverpool at $1,303 and Lurnea at $1,239. They also have nearly the same proportion of residents aged 65 and over. While they share these basics, the gap in access to services remains large, as 90.4% of Liverpool residents can walk to health services compared to only 8.6% in Lurnea. This reflects a wider trend where Liverpool's ability to support pedestrians is far higher than that of Lurnea.
