Manly West Ransome

Manly West and Ransome are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Manly West is a larger, more urban place where most homes are within a 15-minute walk of schools, parks, and groceries, making it somewhat walkable. In contrast, Ransome is car-dependent, with very few homes near schools or shops. There is also a notable wealth gap: the typical weekly household income in Ransome is $3,166, which is well higher than the $2,039 seen in Manly West. This is reflected in the share of households earning over $3,000 a week, which is far higher in Ransome at 50.9% compared to 28.3% in Manly West.

These two areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining close in several key ways. Both have the same typical resident age of 41 and nearly identical typical weekly rents, around $430 to $455. They also share very similar levels of school advantage and a low number of people who speak little or no English. While Manly West has a higher share of people born overseas and those who use another language at home, both areas sit well below the national figure for these measures.
