Adelong is a larger hub where 15.9% of people are children and 16.2% of residents are in a de facto relationship. In contrast, Darlow is sparsely populated and has no children. There is a sharp contrast in wealth; typical weekly personal income is $1,031 in Darlow, which is far higher than the $599 seen in Adelong. Darlow also has much higher typical monthly home-loan payments at $3,900, compared to $1,200 in Adelong.

Daily life in both areas is largely car-dependent, and neither has homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services.

While Adelong's typical resident is 49, the population in Darlow is far older, with a typical age of 61.
