Keira Miranda

Keira and Miranda are both large residential areas in New South Wales, but they offer different lifestyles. Miranda is very walkable, with 80.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services compared to just 30.8% in Keira. Housing also differs, as separate houses are far more common in Keira at 71.7%, while Miranda has a higher share of flats and apartments. Miranda also has a more diverse population, with a higher share of people born overseas (24.3%) and those who use another language at home (20.7%).

Everyday life is similar in both places, as they share nearly identical proportions of children under 15 and the same typical number of people per home. They also have roughly the same number of public transport stops per 1,000 people. Since 2011, several gaps have narrowed, including the difference in Year 12 completion and the share of people born overseas. Meanwhile, the gap in separate house ownership has widened, and the typical age of residents has converged, with both areas now sitting around 40 to 41 years.
