Bland Leeton

Leeton and Bland are two regional New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Leeton is a more urbanised hub with a higher rate of recent overseas arrivals (27.5% compared to 16.2% in Bland) and a younger population, with a typical resident aged 38. Leeton also has much higher rates of recorded crime, including burglary and motor vehicle theft. In contrast, Bland is a larger, more rural area where a far higher share of homes are owned outright (47.1% versus 36.1% in Leeton) and the typical resident is older at 43.

These two areas share very similar typical weekly household incomes of around $1,300 to $1,400 and almost identical proportions of people with a bachelor degree. While they are similar in these ways, some gaps are changing; for example, the difference in the share of recent overseas arrivals has widened significantly since 2011. Residents in Leeton are also more likely to live within a 15-minute walk of groceries and parks, while Bland has a far higher number of schools per 1,000 children.
