Boree Borenore

Borenore and Boree are two nearby New South Wales areas with distinct economic and social profiles. Borenore is a more affluent area, where 40.6% of households earn $3,000 or more a week and 24.5% of people earn $2,000 or more weekly—both figures far higher than in Boree. Borenore also has a more varied housing mix and more residents born overseas (7.1% compared to 0% in Boree). Boree is more rural in character, with a far higher share of separate houses at 90.6% and a larger proportion of people working in agriculture, forestry and fishing.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people who have completed Year 12. They are also very similar in other ways: the typical resident in both is 44 years old, and both are entirely car-dependent, with no one commuting by public transport. These shared patterns are consistent across the two areas, though the gap in high-income earners has widened since 2011.
