Loxford Pelaw Main

Pelaw Main and Loxford are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different scales and layouts. Pelaw Main is a larger community with more residents, a typical age of 39, and a walkability score of 5.1 (somewhat walkable). Loxford is sparsely populated with only 42 residents, a much younger typical age of 32, and is car-dependent (0.3). The two areas differ sharply in accessibility; for example, 100% of Pelaw Main homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school and public transport, while only 1.7% and 3.4% of Loxford homes have the same access.

These two places have tracked in different directions, with the gap in people moving into the area widening over time. Pelaw Main has seen far more recent arrivals, with 39.2% moving in during the last five years compared to 28.6% in Loxford. Despite this, they share some common ground, such as an equal number of schools within 3km and very similar rates of people who speak little or no English. Both areas also have about the same share of residents who completed Year 12.
