Milroy Spring Flat

Spring Flat and Milroy are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different profiles. Spring Flat is a more active hub for families, with a much younger typical resident (36 compared to 43 in Milroy) and a higher share of children under 15. It is also more transient, with 55.8% of people moving there in the last five years, compared to just 23.7% in Milroy. Other key gaps include education and work; 53.2% of Spring Flat residents completed Year 12, which is far higher than the 40.9% in Milroy, and full-time employment is also far higher in Spring Flat at 64.3%.

Both areas have tracked differently since 2011, though they share several similarities today. They have almost identical proportions of people born overseas and a similar share of residents with no religion (about 29%). Both areas are largely car-dependent, with no one commuting by public transport and every home owning a motor vehicle. While Milroy has a higher share of people working from home (28.6% versus 17.6% in Spring Flat), both areas sit well below the national figure for those using a language other than English at home.
