Carrathool Griffith

Griffith and Carrathool are two regional New South Wales areas with very different layouts and populations. Griffith is more developed, with 72.5% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport and a typical monthly home-loan payment of $1,473. In contrast, Carrathool is more rural; it has no public transport stops and a much lower typical monthly home-loan payment of $867. Diversity is also more striking in Griffith, where 23.2% of people use a language other than English at home compared to 9.8% in Carrathool.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of people who use a language other than English at home, reflecting a shared connection to migration. They are also very similar in other ways, such as having the same typical resident age of 37 and an identical typical weekly personal income of $837. While they share these basics, some gaps are shifting; the difference in the share of people with no religion has widened since 2011, while the gap in overseas-born residents has narrowed.
