Merimbula Millingandi

Merimbula and Millingandi are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Merimbula is somewhat walkable, with 61.0% of homes within a 15-minute walk of shops and health services. In contrast, Millingandi is car-dependent, where almost all homes are separate houses (97.8%) and none are within a short walk of groceries or parks. There are also notable differences in age and housing; residents are far older in Millingandi, where the typical age is 62 and 46.1% are seniors. Merimbula has a younger typical age of 54 and a much higher share of renters at 31.6%.

These two areas share several similarities, including a similar number of children under 15 and the same typical monthly home-loan payment of $1,517. However, some gaps are becoming more distinct. This is seen in the housing market, where the gap in homes owned outright has widened, with Millingandi now far higher at 67.2% compared to 40.8% in Merimbula.
