Nelly Bay West Point

Nelly Bay and West Point are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Nelly Bay is a somewhat walkable hub where 10.5% of people are children and 26.5% were born overseas. West Point is a sparsely populated, car-dependent area where residents are far older, with a typical age of 64. There is a stark contrast in wealth and accessibility: typical weekly family income in West Point is far higher at $2,666 compared to $1,382 in Nelly Bay, but Nelly Bay has far more homes within a 15-minute walk of shops, health services, and schools.

Both areas share a similar employment profile, with around 48% of adults working or looking for work. While they are close in this regard, other gaps are wide and moving in different directions. West Point has a much higher share of volunteers at 45.2% and more people with no religion, while Nelly Bay has a higher proportion of people caring for children unpaid. These two areas provide contrasting takes on life in the same part of the world, from the active, walkable streets of Nelly Bay to the quieter, wealthier surroundings of West Point.
