Council (LGA) comparison ≈ 55 km apart · Kyogle profile · Lismore profile

Kyogle Lismore

Lismore and Kyogle are two New South Wales areas about 55 km apart with very different profiles. Lismore is a more urban hub where the typical resident is 44, while Kyogle is much older with a typical age of 52. Lismore has a more qualified workforce, with 47.1% of residents completing Year 12 compared to 36.4% in Kyogle. This higher level of education is consistent with Lismore having a higher share of adults working or looking for work (57.5%) and a higher overall advantage score (5) than Kyogle (2).

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of people needing help with daily activities, which is around 7%. Beyond this, they share several traits, such as having almost the same proportion of First Nations people (about 6%) and similar rates of long-term health conditions. However, some gaps are widening; for instance, the age difference between the two has grown since 2011, and the share of homes owned outright is now far higher in Kyogle by 12 percentage points.
