Buxton Belimbla Park

Buxton (NSW) and Belimbla Park (L) are two nearby areas with very different layouts. Buxton (NSW) is more walkable, with a score of 4.4 (somewhat walkable) and 85.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Belimbla Park (L) is car-dependent, with no homes within that same distance of a grocery store. There are also social differences: 19.0% of people in Buxton (NSW) are in a de facto relationship, which is far higher than the 4.0% seen in Belimbla Park (L).

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in different directions across several measures. While the gap in de facto relationships has widened, the difference in people with no religion has narrowed. Some leads have flipped entirely, such as home ownership and university qualifications, which are now both higher in Belimbla Park (L). Despite these shifts, they share a similar typical weekly personal income of around $800 and an almost identical unemployment rate of about 2.9%.
