West Wyalong Temora

Temora and West Wyalong are two New South Wales regional centres located about 70km apart. Temora is a more walkable place, with 51% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 51.4% near health services, compared to 32.1% and 33.1% in West Wyalong. Residents in Temora are also noticeably older, with a typical age of 48 and 27.2% aged 65 or over, while West Wyalong's typical age is 43 with 22.9% of people aged 65 and over. Local services differ too, with average school sizes far higher in Temora at 181 than the 87 seen in West Wyalong.

These age gaps have widened since 2011, as Temora's population has grown older than West Wyalong's. Despite this, the two areas share many similarities, such as having the same typical number of people per home and the same rate of Year 12 completion. They also have very similar proportions of people born overseas and those who use another language at home. While both are older than the national figure, West Wyalong has a higher share of full-time workers and a higher number of recent overseas arrivals.
