Gilgandra Narromine

Narromine and Gilgandra are rural New South Wales areas with similar population sizes, but they differ in accessibility and demographics. Narromine is more walkable, with 54.6% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed and far more public transport stops and departures. Gilgandra has a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 17.6%, compared to 6.8% in Narromine. Other gaps are stark: drug offences are far higher in Gilgandra, while Narromine has a higher typical income for First Nations people and a larger First Nations population overall.

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to the share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher, which sits around 11%.
