Bodalla Tuross Head

Tuross Head and Bodalla are two nearby New South Wales areas with distinct profiles. Tuross Head is a much older community, where the typical resident is 62 and 44.6% of people are aged 65 or over. This is consistent with a far higher rate of long-term health conditions at 43.4%. In contrast, Bodalla has a younger feel with more children under 15 (12.4%) and a higher share of adults working or looking for work (50.8%). Accessibility also differs; while Bodalla has far more public transport stops and departures, Tuross Head has far more homes within walking distance of parks and health services.

Both areas are very similar in other ways, such as their typical weekly personal incomes and the fact that almost no one commutes by public transport. They share nearly identical rates of home renting and a similar proportion of people who have completed Year 12. These commonalities exist alongside a widening gap in age and health, as Tuross Head has become far older than Bodalla over time.
