Isaacs Mawson

Mawson and Isaacs are neighbouring areas with very different living patterns. Mawson is a walker's paradise with a typical resident aged 38, where 95.5% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries. It has a more mobile population, with 22.8% being recent arrivals from overseas and 35.7% of households renting. In contrast, Isaacs is much older, with a typical age of 49, and is dominated by larger separate houses; 94.2% of homes there have three or more bedrooms, compared to 67.3% in Mawson.

Both areas share a similar mix of people, with nearly identical shares of First Nations residents and those who speak little or no English. They are also equally well placed for nature, as every single home in both areas is within a 15-minute walk of a park. While Mawson is far more walkable for daily needs, the gap in public transport access is smaller, with Isaacs having far more stops per 1,000 people.
