Bathurst - South Orange - North

Orange - North and Bathurst - South are nearby New South Wales areas with very different characters. Orange - North is a wealthier family hub where the typical household income is $2,002 and children under 15 make up 23.9% of the population. This is reflected in the housing, where 90.2% of homes are separate houses and 88.2% have three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Bathurst - South has a much lower typical income of $1,198 and a higher proportion of people living alone (43.3%) and renters (51.1%).

Both areas have similar levels of home ownership, with about 28% of homes owned outright, which is close to the national figure. They also share similar rates of people working from home and the use of other languages. However, their layout differs greatly; Bathurst - South is a walker's paradise with many homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and groceries, while Orange - North is more car-dependent and has far fewer schools per 1,000 children.
