Braidwood Googong

Braidwood and Googong are two very different communities in New South Wales. Braidwood has a much older population, with a typical resident aged 51 and 25.4% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, Googong is far younger, with a typical age of 31 and 30.2% of residents being children under 15. There is also a significant gap in wealth; the typical weekly household income in Googong is $3,363, which is far higher than the $1,429 seen in Braidwood.

Both areas are almost identical in their proportion of First Nations residents and the high percentage of people living in separate houses. These shared traits exist alongside a sharp divide in home ownership. Many people in Braidwood own their homes outright (49.7%), while most in Googong have a mortgage (71.6%). This contrast is consistent with the age and income differences, as Googong has far more university degrees and a much higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week.
