Other Urban and Bounded Locality are two different types of residential areas located about 185 km apart. Other Urban is much more connected, with 85.6% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport and a walkability score of 5.7 (somewhat walkable). In contrast, Bounded Locality is mostly car-dependent, with a walkability score of 4.0 and only 54.4% of homes near public transport. Other Urban also attracts more new residents, as 17.5% of people are recent arrivals from overseas, compared to just 7.2% in Bounded Locality.
