Bonny Hills - West Riverside

Riverside (L) and Bonny Hills - West (L) are both sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. Bonny Hills - West (L) has more street intersections per square kilometre and better walkability, while Riverside (L) is car-dependent. Riverside (L) has a noticeably older population, with a typical resident aged 53, and a higher share of people born overseas at 15.8%. In contrast, Bonny Hills - West (L) has a higher share of university-qualified adults at 24.8% and more households earning $3,000 or more a week.

Both areas are almost identical in their housing and income profiles, with every home being a separate house and typical weekly incomes sitting around $1,450. This shared environment is seen in their similar household sizes and the fact that no one uses public transport to commute. While they share these core traits, the gaps between them have shifted since 2011, particularly as the age difference has narrowed and the share of overseas-born residents in Riverside (L) has become higher.
