Bergalia Tuross Head

Tuross Head and Bergalia are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different characters. Tuross Head is a much older community, where the typical resident is 62 and 44.6% of people are aged 65 or over. It is more walkable, with a score of 3.4 (mostly car-dependent), and has far more people living alone (33.2%) than Bergalia (9.7%). Bergalia is younger, with a typical age of 51, and has a much higher share of people with no religion at 56.1%.

These two areas share similar levels of full-time employment and very low rates of people who speak little or no English. However, the gaps between them in several areas are widening. For example, the difference in the share of people aged 65 and over has grown to a 22 point gap, and the divide in walkability has increased. While both are far older than the national figure, Tuross Head is now significantly older than its neighbour.
