Scone Surrounds Tamworth - East

Tamworth - East and Scone Surrounds are two different kinds of regional New South Wales locations. Tamworth - East is a more urban hub where 34.8% of households rent and public transport is far more common. It is a welcoming spot for newcomers, with 30.3% of people arriving from overseas recently. Scone Surrounds is more rural and car-dependent, with residents who are noticeably older; the typical age there is 44 compared to 38 in Tamworth - East. This area has a much stronger link to the land, with 24.1% of the workforce in agriculture, forestry, and fishing.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the typical age of residents, though they diverge in other ways. They share very similar typical weekly household incomes, around $1,370, and have the same number of people per home. Over time, the gaps between them have often grown. This is seen in the rental market and the proportion of First Nations people, both of which are now notably higher in Tamworth - East than they were in 2011.
