Fyshwick vs Russell

Fyshwick and Russell are both sparsely populated, non-residential areas in the Australian Capital Territory. Fyshwick is very walkable, with 99.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 99.8% near a range of amenities. In contrast, Russell has much higher street connectivity and a far larger number of people reachable by transit within 45 minutes, reaching 50,143 compared to just 6,631 in Fyshwick. However, Russell is much better for school access, with 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school, while only 3.4% of homes in Fyshwick have that access.

Both areas are almost identical in that every home is within a 15-minute walk of a park. While Fyshwick has more public transport stops and a slightly higher walkability score, Russell is well higher for the share of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport. This suggests that while Fyshwick has more infrastructure, Russell's small size makes its transport more accessible for residents.
