Sun Valley Warrimoo

Warrimoo and Sun Valley (NSW) are neighbouring areas in the Blue Mountains with very different layouts. Warrimoo is the more accessible of the two, described as somewhat walkable, with 83.2% of homes within a 10 minute walk of public transport. In contrast, Sun Valley (NSW) is car-dependent, with only 12.4% of homes near transport. These two areas also differ in age and ownership: residents are far older in Sun Valley (NSW), where the typical age is 47 compared to 38 in Warrimoo, and home ownership is far higher in Sun Valley (NSW), where 50.6% of homes are owned outright.

Daily life in both places is quite similar in other ways, as they share nearly identical typical household incomes and a very similar proportion of adults with a bachelor degree. Both areas also have about the same share of people with no religion. While they share these commonalities, the gap in transport ease is significant; Warrimoo has far more public transport departures per 1,000 people and a much higher number of amenity types within a 15-minute walk.
