Carrathool Lachlan

Lachlan and Carrathool are two rural New South Wales areas with some stark differences in their social and economic profiles. Carrathool has a’ higher typical weekly income of $837 compared to $644 in Lachlan, and it is more likely for adults to be working or looking for work. Crime rates are much higher in Lachlan, where recorded offences per 100,000 people are 14,752, compared to 8,269 in Carrathool. Lachlan also has a larger First Nations population at 18.3% and more public transport options, with 29.1% of homes within a 10 minute walk of a stop, while Carrathool has none.

Many of the gaps between these two places have widened since 2011, particularly the difference in typical weekly incomes. Despite this, they share several similarities, such as a high proportion of separate houses (over 94% in both) and similar typical monthly home-loan payments. Both areas also have a high share of overseas arrivals compared to the national figure, and they are nearly identical in their rates of mental health conditions and the number of people per home.
