Bland Temora

Temora and Bland are two rural New South Wales areas with similar population sizes, but they differ in how their towns are laid out and who lives there. Temora is more walkable, with 50.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries compared to 32.0% in Bland. Residents in Temora are also noticeably older, with a typical age of 47 and a higher share of people aged 65 and over (27.3%). In contrast, Bland has a larger First Nations population at 6.6% and a higher number of public transport stops, with seven compared to Temora's two.

Since 2011, some of these gaps have widened, such as the age difference and the share of households renting, which is now well higher in Temora. Despite these shifts, the two areas remain very similar in other ways. They have nearly identical rates of home ownership and the same typical number of people per home. Both areas also see similar levels of education and a similar share of residents born overseas, though both are far older than the national figure.
