Bowraville Talarm

Bowraville and Talarm are neighbouring areas in the Nambucca Valley, though they have very different social profiles. Bowraville has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 15.6%, compared to just 1.2% in Talarm. Families in Bowraville are also more likely to be headed by one parent (33.4% versus 11.9%) and more people live alone. In contrast, Talarm is more likely to have homes owned outright (51.1% compared to 40.5%) and a higher share of people working from home (21.2% versus 9.8%).

Daily life in both places is similar in that almost no one uses public transport to commute and very few people speak little or no English. However, Bowraville is more connected, with a walkability score that is mostly car-dependent, while Talarm is simply car-dependent. This is reflected in the transport gap, as Bowraville has more public transport stops and houses within walking distance of schools. While both areas sit well below the national figure for typical household income, Talarm's typical weekly income is well higher at $1,292, compared to $947 in Bowraville.
