Bounded Locality Other Urban

Other Urban and Bounded Locality are two different types of residential areas located nearly 500km apart. Other Urban is more walkable, with 85.6% of homes within 10 minutes of public transport and a higher share of renters at 29.9%. It also has a higher proportion of recent overseas arrivals (17.5%) and a larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population (6.1%). In contrast, Bounded Locality is more car-dependent, with a typical resident who is noticeably older at 48. Other Urban has more one-parent families (18.4%), while Bounded Locality has a higher share of homes owned outright (45.0%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people who do not have a religion, at around 49%. They are also very similar in terms of typical weekly household incomes and the number of people living in each home. While they share these commonalities, some gaps are growing; the difference in the typical age of residents has widened since 2011, as has the gap in the share of people working from home, which is well higher in Bounded Locality.
