Gladysdale Wesburn

Wesburn and Gladysdale are neighbouring rural areas with very different levels of accessibility. Wesburn is more walkable, with 49.4% of homes within 15 minutes of groceries and 67.7% near public transport. In contrast, Gladysdale is car-dependent, with no homes within walking distance of groceries or transport. Wesburn also has a larger presence of First Nations people and a much higher typical personal income for this group ($749 compared to $225 in Gladysdale).

The gap in how people move and live here has widened since 2011, as Wesburn's walkability and public transport options have become far more prominent than those in Gladysdale. Despite this, the two areas share many similarities, such as typical weekly family incomes that are nearly identical at around $1,900. They also have similar shares of people who identify as having no religion and a nearly equal number of children under 15.
