Towallum vs Ulong

Ulong and Towallum are two nearby areas in New South Wales, though they differ significantly in how they are used. Ulong has a small population of 215 people and offers more local infrastructure, including two schools within 3 km. This makes Ulong more accessible for residents, with 58% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school and 38.3% within a 15-minute walk of a park. Towallum is largely non-residential and has no recorded population, meaning there are no homes within walking distance of schools or parks.

Both areas have tracked similarly over time, remaining car-dependent places where residents cannot walk to groceries or health services. They both lack public transport stops and routes. While Ulong has a well higher walkability score than Towallum, neither area has any homes with a 15-minute-city walkshed.
