Braidwood Captains Flat

Braidwood and Captains Flat (L) are two nearby New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Braidwood is far more walkable (score of 7.1, very walkable) and has a much older population, with a typical resident aged 48 and 30.6% of people aged 65 and over. It also has a higher proportion of university graduates, with 27.0% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Captains Flat (L) is mostly car-dependent (score of 3.7), has a younger typical resident aged 38, and a higher share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people at 6.8%.

These two places have tracked in opposite directions since 2011, with Braidwood becoming significantly older and more educated while the gap in rental rates has shifted. Despite these shifts, they share some similarities, such as having very few people who use another language at home (4.6% in Braidwood and 4.0% in Captains Flat (L)). Both areas also have virtually no one commuting by public transport.
