Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 13 km apart · Badja profile · Countegany profile

Badja Countegany

Countegany and Badja are both sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. Badja has a much older population, with a typical resident aged 74 compared to 58 in Countegany. Income varies significantly between the two; the typical weekly personal income in Badja is $900, which is well higher than the $632 seen in Countegany. However, typical weekly household income is a little higher in Countegany at $1,458.

Both areas are completely car-dependent and lack basic amenities within walking distance. This shared isolation is a defining feature of both places, as neither has any homes within a 15-minute walk of a park, school, or grocery store. While they both sit far above the national figure for typical age, the gap between them has remained a steady part of their local landscape.
