Alstonville Modanville

Alstonville and Modanville (L) are two nearby New South Wales areas with very different layouts. Alstonville is a very walkable hub where 33.8% of people live alone and 33.4% are aged 65 or over. In contrast, Modanville (L) is mostly car-dependent, with every single home being a separate house and 95.8% of homes having three or more bedrooms. Alstonville has a far higher share of renters at 23.5%, while Modanville (L) has a much higher typical weekly household income of $1,795 compared to $1,246 in Alstonville.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked closer together in several key ways. The gap in typical age has narrowed from 22 years to just four, and the difference in the proportion of older residents has also fallen. They remain very similar in other areas, such as having nearly the same share of people born overseas and similar rates of unemployment. While Alstonville is far more likely to have schools and health services within a 15-minute walk, both areas have almost identical access to local parks.
