Bourke North Bourke

Bourke and North Bourke are two separate areas in New South Wales, located about 59 km apart. Bourke is more populated and a hub for services, with a walkability score of 5.8 (somewhat walkable) and 89.6% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, North Bourke is car-dependent, with a walkability score of 0.8 and no homes within a 15-minute walk of shops or health services. There are also notable social differences; the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population is far higher in Bourke at 34.0% compared to 10.5% in North Bourke, and one-parent families are far more common in Bourke (24.1% versus 9.0%).

Everyday life shares many similarities in both places, such as the size and type of housing. Most homes in both areas are separate houses, and the typical number of people per home is almost identical at around 2.4 or 2.5. However, some gaps are quite wide, such as the share of adults working or looking for work, which is far higher in North Bourke at 71.1% compared to 54.6% in Bourke.
