Cabonne Forbes

Cabonne and Forbes are two regional areas in New South Wales. Cabonne has a much higher rate of home ownership, with only 15.6% of households renting compared to 26.9% in Forbes. There is a stark difference in crime rates; recorded offences per 100,000 people are far higher in Forbes at 13,993, while Cabonne is much lower at 3,785. Cabonne also shows a higher level of qualification, with 17.4% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, which is well higher than the 12.4% in Forbes.

Both areas are almost identical in their typical weekly personal income, which sits around $718 to $768. This similarity exists alongside shifting gaps in other areas, such as the share of renters and the proportion of First Nations people, both of which have grown higher in Forbes since 2011. While Forbes has far more public transport stops and services, Cabonne has a far higher number of schools for every 1,000 children.
