Cabonne Parkes

Parkes and Cabonne are two similar-sized areas in New South Wales, but they differ sharply in their social and transport landscapes. Cabonne is far more advantaged in terms of money, resources, and job skills, and has a much lower recorded crime rate. Parkes is more urban in its layout, with far more people living within a 15-minute walk of health services, groceries, and parks. Renting is also far more common in Parkes, where 27.6% of households rent, compared to 15.6% in Cabonne.

Since 2011, the gap in renting has widened as Parkes has become more reliant on rentals than Cabonne. Despite this, the two areas share many basic traits; they have almost identical shares of children and retirees, and their typical weekly rents are both $250. They also both have very similar levels of First Nations languages and people born overseas, showing they share a similar cultural makeup despite their different levels of advantage.
