Mundamia Nowra

Nowra and Mundamia are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different layouts. Nowra is a larger hub where the typical resident is 40 and life is very walkable. In contrast, Mundamia is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with a much older typical resident of 53. Nowra has a far higher share of renters (45.8%) and one-parent families (26.4%), while every single home in Mundamia is a separate detached house.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011 in terms of their school advantage scores and the amount of unpaid housework residents do. While Nowra is a dense centre where most people can walk to a park, school or health service within 15 minutes, Mundamia is much more spread out. This is reflected in the transport data, with Nowra having far more people living without a motor vehicle (12.2%) compared to none in Mundamia.
