Taree Surrounds Wingham

Taree Surrounds and Wingham are two nearby areas with very different layouts. Taree Surrounds is a car-dependent area where residents are far older, with a typical age of 56, and a high 57.1% own their homes outright. In contrast, Wingham is somewhat walkable and has a younger feel, with a typical age of 47 and a higher share of children under 15 (18.0% compared to 13.1% in Taree Surrounds). Wingham also has much better access to daily needs, with 80.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park, while only 23.2% of homes in Taree Surrounds have the same access.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two places have generally widened. The age difference has grown by 4 years, and the gap in outright home ownership has increased from 8.2% to 13.8%. Despite these shifting trends, the two areas remain very similar in other ways. They share almost identical typical weekly household incomes, with Taree Surrounds at $1,069 and Wingham at $1,105, and both have about the same proportion of people using another language at home.
