Other Urban Bounded Locality

Other Urban and Bounded Locality are two very different types of environments. Other Urban is far more connected, with a walkability score of 5.4 (somewhat walkable) and 83% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport. In contrast, Bounded Locality is mostly car-dependent, with a score of 2.9 and only 4% of homes near public transport. These differences extend to the housing market, where typical weekly rent is far higher in Other Urban at $320, compared to $200 in Bounded Locality.

The rent gap between the two areas has widened since 2016. Despite this, they share several similarities, such as having the same typical number of people per home (2.4) and almost identical shares of children under 15. Bounded Locality has a much higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 14.2%, while Other Urban has seen more recent overseas arrivals at 14.1%.
