Tuncurry Wingham

Tuncurry and Wingham are nearby New South Wales towns with very different profiles. Tuncurry is a much older community, where the typical resident is 62 and nearly 46% of people are aged 65 or over. It is more walkable and compact, with 80% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Wingham is younger and more rural, with 92% of homes being separate houses and a typical resident aged 47. Wingham also has a higher share of families with children and more people working or looking for work, at 48.3% compared to 35.7% in Tuncurry.

Since 2011, these two areas have drifted further apart in several ways.
