Armidale Glen Innes

Armidale and Glen Innes are two New South Wales towns with very different profiles. Armidale is much younger, with a typical resident aged 36 compared to 50 in Glen Innes. It is also more highly qualified, with 28.7% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, while that figure is much lower in Glen Innes at 11.0%. Armidale has a more mobile and diverse population, as 45.9% of residents moved there in the last five years and 37.9% arrived from overseas, both far higher than the figures for Glen Innes.

Both towns share a similar proportion of First Nations people and have nearly identical rates of full-time employment and unemployment. They are also alike in how many people provide unpaid care or volunteer. However, the gaps between them are often widening; for example, the age difference has grown to 14 years since 2011, and the gap in home ownership has increased, with homes far more likely to be owned outright in Glen Innes.
