Leopold Newcomb

Leopold and Newcomb are neighbouring areas with very different residential profiles. Leopold is a family-oriented area where 87.2% of homes have three or more bedrooms and the typical household income is $1,589 a week. In contrast, Newcomb has a much higher proportion of renters (41.4%) and people living alone (39.7%), with a typical household income of $1,148. Newcomb is also a walker's paradise, with 99.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a city center, whereas only 50.7% of homes in Leopold have that same access.

Both areas share a very similar proportion of residents aged 65 and over, sitting at around 21%. While they are alike in this regard, they differ in their connectivity; Newcomb has far more public transport departures and a much higher number of schools per 1,000 children. Leopold has a well higher share of children under 15 and a higher rate of people who finished Year 12. These two areas have tracked similarly in their professional makeup, as full-time employment rates are effectively equal.
