Orange Orange Surrounds

Orange and Orange Surrounds are nearby New South Wales areas with very different layouts. Orange is a very walkable hub where 36.7% of households rent and one-parent families are far more common at 20.1%. It has larger schools, with an average size of 545 students, and a more transient population, as 40.8% of people moved there in the last five years. In contrast, Orange Surrounds is car-dependent and more residential, with 43.3% of homes owned outright and a higher share of large houses with three or more bedrooms (84.8%).

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, as they have almost the same number of businesses and a very similar proportion of adults with a university degree. However, the gaps in housing and mobility are widening; the difference in rental rates and the number of people living alone has grown since 2011. While Orange is a center for recent overseas arrivals at 16.9%, this figure is much lower in Orange Surrounds at 4.8%.
