Dunoon Nimbin

Dunoon (L) and Nimbin (L) are two nearby areas with very different profiles. Dunoon (L) is generally wealthier and younger, with a typical resident aged 38 and typical household incomes of $1,687 per week. It has a higher share of university degrees (27.8%) and larger homes, with 86.4% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Nimbin (L) has an older population, with a typical age of 50, and typical household incomes are much lower at $658. Life in Nimbin (L) is more solitary or centered on single parents, with 55.8% of people living alone and 48% of families being one-parent households.

Both areas are nearly identical in their lack of recent overseas arrivals and the fact that no one commutes by public transport. While they share these traits, their walkability is worlds apart. Nimbin (L) is somewhat walkable, with 78.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services. Dunoon (L) is mostly car-dependent, with no homes within that distance of food or health services. Over time, the gaps in income and education have widened or flipped, making these two neighbours look increasingly different.
