Purrawunda Rossvale

Rossvale and Purrawunda are both sparsely populated areas. The most striking difference is in housing costs, where the typical monthly home-loan payment in Rossvale is $1,733, which is far higher than the $620 seen in Purrawunda. However, Purrawunda has a well higher typical weekly household income of $2,125 compared to $1,542 in Rossvale, and a typical personal income that is well higher at $850 compared to $638.

Both areas are completely car-dependent and share a similar distance to the city. They both have no public transport, no nearby schools, and no shops or health services within a 15-minute walk.
