Mylor and Hahndorf are both affluent Adelaide Hills communities, though they differ in character and scale. Mylor is smaller (1,067 people) with higher household incomes ($103,480 versus $90,220) and lower walkability (42 versus 68), making it quieter and more car-dependent. Hahndorf is larger (2,814 people), more walkable, and scores higher on liveability (56 versus 48), though it carries slightly higher bushfire risk (69 versus 74). Both have identical weekly rent ($350) and share a socio-economic decile of 9, so the choice hinges on whether you prefer Mylor's privacy and income profile or Hahndorf's more established community feel and walkable village character.
