Coonamble Narromine

Narromine and Coonamble are both rural New South Wales areas with distinct differences in their populations and resources. Coonamble has a far higher proportion of First Nations people at 32.6% compared to 20.3% in Narromine, and it sees far more recent arrivals from overseas (23.0% versus 6.7%). Narromine generally has better access to essentials; its residents are far more likely to live within a 10-minute walk of public transport (56.4% compared to 28.3%) or 15 minutes from health services (58.0% versus 41.2%).

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have often widened, particularly for recent overseas arrivals and the proportion of First Nations residents. However, they remain very similar in other ways, such as having about 21% of their populations under age 15 and nearly identical weekly household incomes, both around $1,300. Both areas also show similar levels of university education, with about 11% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher.
