Coolamon Temora

Temora and Coolamon are nearby New South Wales areas with several distinct differences. Temora is a more walkable hub for essentials, with 50.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 50.5% near health services, compared to just 8.5% and 31.9% in Coolamon. In contrast, Coolamon has far better public transport access, with 59.3% of homes within a 10-minute walk of a stop and a much higher number of total stops. Temora also has a notably older population; the typical resident is 47, and 27.3% of people are aged 65 and over, while in Coolamon these figures are 44 and 23.6%.

Since 2011, the gaps between the two have shifted, with Temora becoming relatively older and Coolamon seeing a larger increase in people moving to the area. Despite these moving trends, they share many similarities. Both areas have almost identical typical weekly personal incomes, around $650 to $700, and the same share of residents who completed Year 12. They are also alike in the proportion of people living with long-term health conditions and the percentage of people born overseas.
