Bogan Lachlan

Lachlan and Bogan are two rural New South Wales areas with similar landscapes but different social profiles. Lachlan has a much larger population of 6,094 and a significantly higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 37.2%. In contrast, Bogan has a typical resident's income that is higher, with 15.5% of households earning $3,000 or more per week compared to 10.3% in Lachlan. Bogan also reports much higher rates of crime, particularly burglary and sexual offences, and has a far higher number of public transport departures per 1,000 people.

Both areas share a typical resident age of 41 years, reflecting a similar demographic stage. While they are alike in this and many other ways, some gaps are shifting; the difference in high-earning households has widened since 2011. At the same time, the gap in volunteering has narrowed, although Lachlan remains well higher at 23.8%. While Lachlan has a larger First Nations population, Bogan shows well higher rates of Year 12 completion and typical personal income for this group.
