Hay Gannawarra

Gannawarra and Hay are two regional areas separated by about 165km. Gannawarra has a larger population and is noticeably older, with a typical resident aged 51 and 30.3% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, Hay has a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 22.3% and a larger First Nations population at 8.3%. Crime rates differ sharply, with recorded offences far higher in Hay, particularly drug offences and motor vehicle theft. Gannawarra has better access to public transport, with 36.4% of homes within a 10-minute walk of a stop compared to just 2.4% in Hay.

Both areas are effectively alike in many ways, such as having an identical typical age for First Nations residents and the same average number of people per home. They also share similar levels of volunteering and a similar share of children under 15. While they share these common traits, some gaps are shifting; for example, the difference in the number of people with no religion has widened since 2011, and the gap in the share of older residents has also grown.
