Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 69 km apart · Dubbo - South profile · Gilgandra profile

Dubbo - South Gilgandra

Dubbo - South and Gilgandra are two very different New South Wales areas located about 69 km apart. Dubbo - South is a larger, younger hub where the typical resident is 35, while people in Gilgandra are far older with a typical age of 46. There are also stark contrasts in housing and education; 37.2% of households in Dubbo - South rent compared to 23.4% in Gilgandra, and Dubbo - South has a far higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (21.9% against 11.0%).

Since 2011, the gap between the two areas has widened across many measures, including age, rental prices and education levels. Despite these growing divides, they remain alike in some ways, such as their similar shares of First Nations people (around 14%) and nearly identical numbers of people living alone. Both areas also sit near the national figure for overall advantage, though Dubbo - South has a much higher level of access to public transport and local parks within walking distance.
