Herdsman Woodlands

Woodlands (WA) and Herdsman are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Woodlands (WA) is a residential hub with 4,551 people, while Herdsman is largely non-residential with a population of zero. This makes Woodlands (WA) very walkable, where 100% of homes are in a 15-minute-city walkshed and 99.1% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of health services. In contrast, Herdsman is mostly car-dependent, with only 40.8% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed and only 32.7% near health services.

These two areas are effectively alike in their typical weekly personal incomes, which sit around $890 and $900. However, the gap in accessibility remains stark. Woodlands (WA) has 18 public transport stops and 11 routes, whereas Herdsman has none. This difference in connectivity is reflected in the transit times to the city, which are well higher in Herdsman at 65 minutes compared to 52 minutes in Woodlands (WA).
