Calare Werriwa

Calare and Werriwa are very different New South Wales regions. Werriwa is far more diverse, with 44.3% of people born overseas and 56.0% using a language other than English at home, compared to 9.3% and 4.8% in Calare. Calare has a noticeably older population, with a typical age of 40 and 20.1% of people aged 65 or over, while Werriwa is younger at 34 and has only 11.3% of residents in that older bracket. Living arrangements also differ, as Calare has far more people living alone (28.8%) and more homes owned outright (36.6%) than Werriwa.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in opposite directions across several key measures. While the gap in overseas births and language use has narrowed, the difference in those with no religion has widened. At the same time, the divide in home ownership and the number of people living alone has grown. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas remain similar in some ways, such as their typical family incomes and the share of one-parent families.
