Corowa Surrounds Griffith

Griffith (NSW) and Corowa Surrounds are both New South Wales areas with very different populations. Griffith (NSW) is much more diverse, with 26.5% of people born overseas and 27.3% using a language other than English at home. It is also younger, with a typical resident aged 37. In contrast, Corowa Surrounds has a much older population, where the typical resident is 50 and 29.7% of people are aged 65 or over. Housing also differs, as renters are far more common in Griffith (NSW) at 36.3%, while 45.8% of homes in Corowa Surrounds are owned outright.

Daily life in both places shares similar ground in some ways, such as having almost identical unemployment rates of around 3%. However, the gaps between them are often widening. For example, the age difference has grown since 2011, and the gap in overseas births has also increased. While Griffith (NSW) is more connected with far more public transport stops and more people living within walking distance of a bus or train, both areas sit below the national figure for overall advantage.
