Gloucester Wingham

Wingham and Gloucester are two small New South Wales towns with similar population sizes, though they offer different lifestyles. Wingham is more walkable, with 87% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport compared to 39.8% in Gloucester. It also has a younger population, with 18% of residents under 15 and a typical age of 47. In contrast, Gloucester is far older, with a typical age of 55 and a much higher share of seniors at 33.1%. Gloucester also has more people working from home (16.3%) and a higher share of residents working in agriculture, forestry and fishing.

Certain gaps between the two areas have widened since 2011, such as the difference in typical age and the share of people working from home. Despite these shifting trends, the two towns remain very alike in other ways. They share nearly identical proportions of First Nations people (7.3%) and typical weekly household incomes, which sit around $1,100. Both areas also have similar levels of people who have served in the Defence Force.
