Boolambayte Bulahdelah

Bulahdelah and Boolambayte are neighbouring areas in New South Wales, though they offer very different lifestyles. Bulahdelah is a more developed hub where 74.1% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of health services and parks, making it somewhat walkable. In contrast, Boolambayte is car-dependent and sparsely populated, with no residents living within a 15-minute walk of groceries or a school. A significant wealth gap exists, as households earning $3,000 or more a week are far higher in Boolambayte at 17.6%, compared to just 5.5% in Bulahdelah.

Both areas share a very similar typical weekly personal income of around $500, which sits well below the national figure. They are also alike in their family sizes and the share of children under 15. While they track together on these basics, other gaps are shifting; for example, the proportion of people who have moved into Bulahdelah in the last five years is far higher than in Boolambayte.
