Bamarang Nowra Hill

Nowra Hill and Bamarang are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different profiles. Nowra Hill is a larger community where the typical resident is 37 and weekly household income is far higher at $1,902. It has a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population (13.5%) and far more people who have served in the Defence Force (12.4%). Bamarang is sparsely populated and much older, with a typical age of 53. Residents there are far more likely to be volunteers (36.1%) and have a much higher share of people with no religion (62.9%).

Their differences are becoming more pronounced as the gap in weekly household income has widened. Both areas are very car-dependent and have almost no residents who use public transport to commute. They also share similar household sizes, with about three people per home. While Nowra Hill has more public transport stops, both areas are far from the national figure for walkability to services.
