Rixs Creek Singleton Heights

Singleton Heights and Rixs Creek are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Singleton Heights is a larger residential hub where the typical resident is 33, while Rixs Creek is sparsely populated and far older, with a typical age of 44. This contrast extends to local services; Singleton Heights has a walkability score of 3.0 (mostly car-dependent) and far more public transport stops and schools, whereas Rixs Creek is car-dependent and has no public transport. There is also a notable difference for First Nations residents, who are far older in Rixs Creek and have far higher typical household and personal incomes.

Everyday life in both places shares some similarities, such as a drive time to the city of around 130 minutes and very similar typical family incomes. Neither area has homes within a 15-minute walk of health services or a 15-minute-city walkshed. While Singleton Heights is much more connected, both areas have a similar school advantage score and a nearly identical terrain slope.
