Putney Rhodes

Rhodes and Putney are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Rhodes is a young, diverse hub where the typical resident is 32 and a huge 72.2% were born overseas. It is dominated by apartments, with 95.1% of homes being flats and 59.2% of households renting. In contrast, Putney is an older area with a typical age of 44 and a strong preference for detached housing; 83.9% of homes are separate houses, and 46.8% are owned outright. Rhodes also has a much higher share of university graduates (62%) and people using another language at home (74.1%).

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked differently, with Rhodes seeing a massive shift as 70% of its residents moved in within the last five years. Despite these diverging trends, they share some basic traits, such as a similar 15-to-16 minute drive to the city and a 1-minute walk to the nearest transport stop. Both areas also have a similar proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents (0.3%) and every home in both places is within a 15-minute walk of a park.
