Mollymook Woodstock

Mollymook and Woodstock (Shoalhaven - NSW) are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Mollymook is more developed, with a walkability score of 3.7 (mostly car-dependent) and a high share of people who have moved here in the last five years (39.5%). In contrast, Woodstock (Shoalhaven - NSW) is more rural, where 98.7% of homes are separate houses and most residents own their homes outright. A significant gap exists in housing costs; typical weekly rent in Mollymook is far higher at $375, compared to $216 in Woodstock (Shoalhaven - NSW).

These two areas have tracked differently over time, with the gap in mobility and accessibility widening. Mollymook has far more public transport stops and a much higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park. However, they share some similarities, such as an identical share of people working from home (17.4%) and a lack of grocery stores and health services within a 15-minute walk. Both areas also have a higher proportion of people aged 65 and over than the national figure.
