Bargo Balmoral

Bargo and Balmoral (L) are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different layouts. Bargo is a larger center where life is more walkable, with 60% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school, health services, and groceries. In contrast, Balmoral (L) is car-dependent, and no homes are within a 15-minute walk of those same services. Bargo also has a higher share of children under 15 at 20.1% and more people living alone at 23.6% compared to 7.9% in Balmoral (L).

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted apart in several ways, with the lead flipping on typical incomes and the share of residents born overseas. Balmoral (L) now has a higher typical weekly household income at $2,187, while Bargo sits at $1,694. Despite these shifts, they share a few basics; both areas have an almost identical share of people who speak little or no English and a similar percentage of homes with three or more bedrooms.
