Hernes Oak Newborough

Newborough and Hernes Oak are neighbouring Victorian areas with very different lifestyles. Newborough is a larger, very walkable hub where the typical weekly household income is $1,165 and 38.1% of people have a long-term health condition. In contrast, Hernes Oak is a car-dependent area where the typical weekly income is far higher at $1,894. While Newborough has many more renters and one-parent families, Hernes Oak is dominated by larger separate houses, with 91.9% of homes having three or more bedrooms.

Both areas are served by the same size and number of schools, which are almost identical in their advantage scores. This shared education landscape exists alongside other differences; for example, the gap in home ownership is large, with 50.5% of Hernes Oak homes owned outright compared to 37.1% in Newborough. Newborough also provides far more accessibility, with most homes within a 15-minute walk of parks, health services, and groceries, while Hernes Oak lacks these walkable amenities.
