Federal Electorate comparison ≈ 183 km apart · Lyne profile · New England profile

Lyne New England

New England and Lyne are both rural areas in New South Wales with similar populations, but they differ in their makeup. New England has a much larger share of recent overseas arrivals (26.4% compared to 5.8% in Lyne) and a higher proportion of people who are working or looking for work (56.1% versus 47.8%). In contrast, Lyne is far older, with a typical resident aged 51 and a much higher share of seniors (30.4% compared to 21.9% in New England).

These two areas have moved in opposite directions since 2011. While Lyne has become far older and seen more people own their homes outright, New England has seen a surge in recent overseas arrivals. Despite these shifts, they share several traits; both have almost identical household sizes, very few people who speak little or no English, and a very low share of people who commute using public transport.
