Carrathool Hay

Hay and Carrathool are both rural areas in New South Wales with similar population sizes, but they differ sharply in age and demographics. Residents in Hay are far older, with a typical age of 48 compared to just 37 in Carrathool. Carrathool has a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 48.3%, while Hay sits at 22.3%. There are also significant differences in crime; Hay has a much higher drug offence rate (1,319) and motor vehicle theft rate (590) than Carrathool.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two places have generally grown. The age difference has widened from 3 to 11 years, and the gap in overseas arrivals has increased to 25.9%. Despite these shifts, they remain alike in some ways, such as having almost identical numbers of businesses and very similar shares of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Both areas also sit near the national average for overall advantage.
