Dobell Lyne

Lyne and Dobell are two New South Wales areas with very different lifestyles. Lyne is an older community where the typical resident is 51 and 47.1% of homes are owned outright. In contrast, Dobell has a younger population with a typical age of 41 and is much more connected, with 92.9% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport compared to 55.1% in Lyne. Dobell also sees higher typical incomes, with the usual household earning $1,509 a week, while Lyne's typical household earns $1,173.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of people who identify as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. Beyond this, they share similar unemployment rates and a similar proportion of people working full-time. While they have much in common, some gaps are widening; for example, the difference in typical household income has grown since 2011, and the gap in the number of people born overseas has also increased.
