Coffs Harbour - South Urunga

Coffs Harbour - South and Urunga are two nearby New South Wales areas with very different characters. Coffs Harbour - South is a very walkable area where 27.6% of residents arrived from overseas recently and 12.7% use a language other than English at home. In contrast, Urunga is much more car-dependent, with residents who are far older—the typical person is 53 compared to 45 in Coffs Harbour - South. Housing also differs sharply; separate houses are far more common in Urunga at 83.9%, while renting is far more typical in Coffs Harbour - South, where 41.4% of homes are rented.

Everyday life is similar in other ways, as both areas have almost identical typical weekly household incomes of around $1,200 and similar shares of First Nations residents. However, some gaps are widening. Urunga has seen a rise in the proportion of people who own their homes outright, and the age gap between the two areas has grown since 2011.
