Barellan Colinroobie

Barellan and Colinroobie are two nearby New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Barellan is a more established hub where residents are far older, with a typical age of 48 compared to 33 in Colinroobie. This age gap is reflected in the homes, as Barellan has far more people living alone (38.4%) and more homes owned outright (55.3%). In contrast, Colinroobie is much younger, with children under 15 making up 41.2% of the population. This helps explain why more people in Colinroobie are caring for children unpaid (51.4%) and why more residents have completed Year 12 (57.6%).

Both areas are essentially similar in that they are car-dependent and lack a high proportion of people who speak languages other than English. They also share a similar rate of people living with a mental health condition. While Barellan has more local amenities and public transport stops, both areas remain very quiet and sparsely populated, with Colinroobie being particularly small with only 51 residents.
