Upper Hunter Moree - Narrabri

Moree - Narrabri and Upper Hunter are both regional New South Wales areas with similar population sizes, but they differ in their social and transport makeup.

Transport is much more accessible in Upper Hunter, where 52.9% of homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport, compared to 32.8% in Moree - Narrabri.
