Forbes Temora

Forbes and Temora are two New South Wales regional centres with different social and service profiles. Forbes has far higher recorded crime rates across the board, with 13,993 offences per 100,000 people compared to 5,336 in Temora. It also has a much larger First Nations population at 13.3%, while Temora's is 3.4%. In terms of infrastructure, Forbes has far more public transport options, with 64.9% of homes within a 10-minute walk of a stop, compared to just 27.2% in Temora.

Everyday life is quite similar in both towns, as they share nearly identical typical weekly household incomes and a similar number of people living alone. They also have very similar levels of tertiary education and a similar percentage of people who speak another language at home. However, some gaps are widening; residents in Temora are now noticeably older, with a typical age of 47 compared to 42 in Forbes. The difference in the share of First Nations people has also grown since 2011.
