Dubbo - East Narromine

Dubbo - East and Narromine are two New South Wales areas with very different characters. Dubbo - East is a younger area with a typical resident aged 35, and it sees far more recent arrivals from overseas (27.9% compared to 6.7% in Narromine). It is also more urban in feel, with far more public transport stops and departures, and a higher share of renters at 36.2%. In contrast, Narromine is older, with a typical age of 41, and has a much higher share of homes owned outright at 42.2%. Residents there are also more likely to live in a separate house (93.1%) and work in agriculture, forestry and fishing.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the proportion of people per home. They also share similar rates of one-parent families and First Nations unemployment. However, the gap between them has grown in several areas since 2011. The difference in typical weekly household income has widened to $360, and the gap in overseas arrivals has increased significantly.
