Armatree Gilgandra

Gilgandra and Armatree are two nearby New South Wales areas with very different lifestyles. Gilgandra is a more developed hub where the walkability score is somewhat walkable, while Armatree is car-dependent. There are stark differences in housing and health; Gilgandra has a far higher share of renters (28.6% compared to 10.2%) and a much higher rate of long-term health conditions (35.1% versus 22.6%). Gilgandra also has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 18.3%, compared to 7.9% in Armatree.

These two areas are effectively alike in their small shares of overseas-born residents and people who speak little or no English. However, the gap in how people work is widening, with 26.5% of people in Armatree working from home compared to just 6.9% in Gilgandra. While Gilgandra has more residents and a higher count of schools, Armatree has a higher share of people who completed Year 12 and a higher typical weekly family income.
