Orange Surrounds vs Dubbo - South

Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 102 km apart · Orange Surrounds profile · Dubbo - South profile

Orange Surrounds Dubbo - South

Dubbo - South and Orange Surrounds are two very different New South Wales environments. Dubbo - South is a very walkable area with a younger population, where the typical resident is 35. It is more transient and diverse, with 46.1% of people moving there in the last five years and 24.9% arriving from overseas. In contrast, Orange Surrounds is a car-dependent area where residents are far older, with a typical age of 43. Home ownership is much more common there, as 43.3% of homes are owned outright, compared to just 26.8% in Dubbo - South.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally widened, particularly regarding housing and age. The difference in typical age grew from 4 to 8 years, and the gap in renting has increased significantly. Despite these diverging trends, they share a similar proportion of children under 15 (20.8%) and very similar typical weekly personal incomes, which sit just below the national figure.
