Burrum Heads Woodgate

Burrum Heads and Woodgate are neighbouring coastal areas with very different levels of accessibility. Burrum Heads is more walkable, with 56% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a neighbourhood center and 100% of homes near a park. By contrast, Woodgate is car-dependent, with no homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed and only 50.6% within reach of a park. Burrum Heads also has a larger proportion of seniors, with 56.6% of residents aged 65 and over, compared to 49.2% in Woodgate.

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to home sizes and costs, with the typical monthly mortgage payment being $1,300 in each. They also share similar lifestyles, as both have very low rates of people who speak a language other than English at home. While they are alike in these ways, some gaps are shifting; the difference in the number of people who have finished Year 12 has narrowed since 2011, and the share of people working or looking for work is now closer than it used to be.
