Boree Creek Cullivel

Boree Creek and Cullivel are two small New South Wales areas located about 22 km apart. Boree Creek is more developed, with a walkability score of 2.0 (mostly car-dependent) and 57% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park or school. In contrast, Cullivel is sparsely populated with only 10 residents and no homes within walking distance of such amenities. There is a stark difference in wealth; the typical weekly family income in Cullivel is $2,750, which is far higher than the $1,416 earned in Boree Creek.

Everyday life in both places relies heavily on cars, as neither area has any homes within walking distance of groceries, health services, or public transport. While both are car-dependent, the gap in typical income has widened since the last census. Boree Creek also has a larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population, with 20 people compared to none in Cullivel.
