Foulden North Mackay

North Mackay and Foulden are neighbouring areas with very different characters. North Mackay is a populous hub with a very walkable layout, where 90.8% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Foulden is sparsely populated with only 9 residents and is car-dependent. There is also a sharp contrast in wealth; typical household income in Foulden is $4,250 per week, which is far higher than the $1,375 seen in North Mackay.

Both areas share a very similar average school advantage score. However, they differ in almost every other way, from the number of people per home—which is well higher in Foulden at 3.5—to public transport access. North Mackay has 24 stops and 5 routes, while Foulden has none. This gap in accessibility is reflected in the walkability scores, with North Mackay being very walkable and Foulden being car-dependent.
