Lurnea Miller

Lurnea and Miller are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with contrasting profiles. Lurnea is a larger, more diverse hub where 58.9% of people use a language other than English at home and the typical weekly household income is $1,239. In contrast, Miller has a higher proportion of renters (63.9%) and people living alone (35.1%), with a typical household income that is well lower at $825. Lurnea is also far more expensive for renters, with a typical weekly rent of $380 compared to $201 in Miller.

Everyday life in both places shares several similarities, as every home in both areas is within a 10-minute walk of public transport and a 15-minute walk of a park. However, Miller is much more convenient for other needs; it is far more walkable for health services and groceries. This contrast is mirrored in the housing and health data, where Miller has a far higher share of homes without a car and a higher proportion of residents with long-term health conditions.
