Bega Valley Eurobodalla

Eurobodalla and Bega Valley are two regional areas in New South Wales that differ most in their transport and safety profiles. Eurobodalla is far more connected by public transport, with 69.0% of homes within a 10 minute walk of a stop compared to 52.2% in Bega Valley. However, Eurobodalla also has a much higher recorded crime rate, with burglary and drug offence rates far higher than those in Bega Valley. Eurobodalla is also the older of the two, with 32.8% of its people aged 65 and over.

Typical household incomes are almost identical in both areas, sitting around $1,200 a week. This shared economic footing exists alongside other similarities, such as very low rates of people using a language other than English at home. While Bega Valley has a higher share of people working or looking for work, the gap between the two has narrowed since 2011. Both areas have aging populations that sit far above the national figure.
