Bourke Warren

Bourke and Warren are two regional New South Wales areas with similar populations, but they differ in their demographics and housing. Bourke has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 30.3%, compared to 15.4% in Warren. The two areas also see a contrast in age and home ownership; residents are far older in Warren, where the typical age is 45 compared to 37 in Bourke, and a far higher share of homes are owned outright (44.4% in Warren versus 31.8% in Bourke).

Everyday life shares many similarities in both places, such as having roughly the same share of residents born overseas and almost identical rates of adults with a bachelor degree. However, some gaps are shifting over time. The difference in the share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people has narrowed since 2011, while the gap in home ownership and the age difference between the two areas have both widened.
