Scone Scone Surrounds

Scone and Scone Surrounds are nearby areas in New South Wales with very different characters. Scone is a more urban hub where 41.4% of people moved in during the last five years and 36.1% of recent arrivals came from overseas. It is far more convenient for residents, with a walkability score of 4.7 (somewhat walkable), while Scone Surrounds is 2.4 (mostly car-dependent). In contrast, Scone Surrounds is more rural and stable, with 95.1% of homes being separate houses and a typical resident's age of 44, which is five years older than the typical person in Scone.

These differences have become more pronounced as the gap in recent overseas arrivals has widened since 2011. Despite this, the two areas share many similarities, such as an almost identical share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (about 7%) and the same typical household size of 2.4 people. Both areas also show very low rates of public transport use for commuting, sitting well below the national figure.
