Cooma Surrounds Conder

Cooma Surrounds and Conder are two very different places. Cooma Surrounds is an older area where the typical resident is 50, and 23.5% of people are aged 65 or over. In contrast, Conder is much younger, with a typical age of 37 and only 10.7% of residents aged 65 or over. There are also striking gaps in income and education; typical weekly household income in Conder is $2,574, which is $978 higher than the $1,596 in Cooma Surrounds. This is consistent with a higher share of people in Conder finishing Year 12 (67.2% compared to 45.1% in Cooma Surrounds).

Both areas sit near the national figure for unemployment, which is around 2.5% to 2.8%. They also share similar proportions of First Nations people and residents with long-term health conditions. Over time, some of the gaps have shifted; the difference in typical ages and the share of homes owned outright have both narrowed since 2011. However, the divide in public transport access remains huge, with 98.4% of Conder homes within a 10-minute walk of a stop, compared to just 11.7% in Cooma Surrounds.
