Boomey Molong

Molong and Boomey are two nearby areas in New South Wales with very different profiles. Molong is a larger centre that is somewhat walkable, while Boomey is sparsely populated and car-dependent. Molong has a much older population, with 22.7% aged 65 and over compared to just 3.4% in Boomey. In contrast, Boomey is much younger, with 35.2% of its people under 15, which helps explain why 44.8% of residents there are unpaid carers for children. Boomey also has a much higher share of people working from home at 31.7%.

Very few people in either area speak little or no English. This shared trait sits alongside a stark contrast in local services; Molong has public transport stops and a variety of amenities within walking distance, while Boomey has none. Boomey is also more focused on agriculture, with 46.3% of its workforce in that industry, and has a higher share of adults working or looking for work at 70.7%.
