Scone Surrounds Gloucester

Scone Surrounds and Gloucester are two rural New South Wales areas with very different demographic and economic profiles. Gloucester has a much older population, with a typical resident aged 55 compared to 44 in Scone Surrounds, and a far higher share of seniors at 33.1%. People in Scone Surrounds are generally better off financially, with a typical household income of $1,362 per week, which is well higher than the $1,069 typical in Gloucester. Employment is also more common in Scone Surrounds, where 63.9% of residents are employed full-time, compared to 52.3% in Gloucester.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have shifted, with the difference in typical incomes and full-time employment widening. Despite this, they share several similarities, such as very low levels of overseas birth and a similar proportion of First Nations residents. Both areas are largely car-dependent, with very few people commuting by public transport. They also have almost identical scores for education and job skills, which both sit at the lowest end of the scale.
