Temora Wagga Wagga - West

Wagga Wagga - West and Temora are two distinct New South Wales areas with very different living patterns. Wagga Wagga - West is more mobile and diverse, with far more recent overseas arrivals (33.0% compared to 10.6% in Temora) and a much higher share of renters (49.4% versus 22.1%). It is also very walkable, while Temora is mostly car-dependent. In contrast, Temora has a much older population, with a typical resident aged 48 compared to 36 in Wagga Wagga - West, and a far higher share of homes owned outright (48.8% against 25.7%).

Since 2011, some gaps between the two have grown while others have shrunk. The difference in the share of people renting and those living in separate houses has widened, but the gap in Year 12 completion and volunteering has narrowed. Despite these shifts, the two areas remain similar in their overall advantage scores, which both sit slightly below the national figure, and they share almost identical rates of long-term health conditions.
