Dubbo Surrounds Gilgandra

Dubbo Surrounds and Gilgandra are both rural New South Wales areas, but they differ sharply in wealth and layout. Dubbo Surrounds is more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $1,952 compared to $1,151 in Gilgandra. This higher income is reflected in the housing, as 87.8% of homes in Dubbo Surrounds have three or more bedrooms and mortgage payments are far higher. In contrast, Gilgandra is more walkable; it is mostly car-dependent but has far more residents within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, and parks.

These two areas have drifted apart since 2011, with the gap in typical household incomes and the number of people living alone both widening over time. Despite these trends, they share several common traits, such as having almost identical rates of people born overseas and very similar proportions of people who do not identify with a religion. Both areas also have very low use of public transport, with just two stops each.
