Bowman Farm Gloucester

Gloucester and Bowman Farm are nearby areas in New South Wales, though they differ greatly in scale and layout. Gloucester is a much larger town where the typical resident is 55, and 34.9% of the population are seniors. It is somewhat walkable, with many residents living within a 15-minute walk of health services and groceries. In contrast, Bowman Farm is sparsely populated and car-dependent. It has a much younger age profile, with seniors making up only 7.3% of the population, and a far higher share of people working from home at 45.5%.

Everyday life in both places shares some common ground, as typical weekly incomes and rents are very similar. The two areas also have almost the same proportion of people who have moved house in the last five years. While Gloucester is more established as a hub with more public transport and schools, Bowman Farm has seen a far higher share of its residents entering into de facto relationships and using a language other than English at home.
