Picton Couridjah

Picton and Couridjah (L) are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different layouts. Picton is a more connected hub, rated as somewhat walkable, where 72% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed and many people can walk to schools, parks and groceries. In contrast, Couridjah (L) is car-dependent, and no homes are within a 15-minute walk of those same amenities. This difference is seen in the housing too; while Picton has a mix of dwellings, Couridjah (L) consists entirely of separate houses. Picton also has a higher share of people with no religion (38.5% compared to 25.5% in Couridjah (L)) and more residents who finished Year 12.

The gap in religious affiliation has widened since 2011, but the two areas share several other traits. They have very similar proportions of people born overseas, those who volunteer, and those providing unpaid care. They also have nearly identical typical weekly rents and monthly mortgage payments. Both areas are far below the national figure for people who speak little or no English at home.
