Dungog Scone

Scone and Dungog are two New South Wales towns located about 80km apart. Scone is more walkable, with 62.1% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed, while Dungog is mostly car-dependent. Scone also has a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 36.1%, compared to just 1.3% in Dungog. In contrast, Dungog has a higher share of detached houses at 97.0% and more people working from home, at 20.4% compared to 8.8% in Scone.

Everyday life shares many similarities in both towns, including similar typical weekly incomes of around $1,500 and nearly identical unemployment rates. Both areas also have a similar proportion of First Nations people and houses with three or more bedrooms. While they share these traits, some gaps have grown since 2011, such as the difference in the number of people born overseas and the share of households that rent, which is now far higher in Scone.
