The Oaks Wallacia

The Oaks and Wallacia are two nearby New South Wales areas with distinct housing and amenity profiles. The Oaks is a very walkable area where 88% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 89.5% are near health services, while Wallacia is only somewhat walkable and has no homes within that distance of either. The Oaks is also more focused on families, with 36.9% of people providing unpaid childcare and a much higher share of homes having three or more bedrooms (91.8% compared to 74.2% in Wallacia).

These two areas share a very similar typical weekly personal income, around $900. While they are alike in that regard, other gaps have shifted over time. People living alone are now far more common in Wallacia, and the population there has become noticeably older than in The Oaks since 2011. Similarly, the share of separate houses is now far higher in The Oaks, a gap that has flipped from the 2011 figures.
