Brookong Lockhart

Lockhart and Brookong are nearby areas in New South Wales with very different profiles. Lockhart is a larger centre with a more diverse age range, including 17.8% children and 29.7% seniors. It is far more accessible, with a somewhat walkable score of 5.0 and many residents within a 15-minute walk of schools and health services. In contrast, Brookong is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with typical weekly household incomes far higher at $2,250, compared to $1,111 in Lockhart.

These two areas have diverged significantly in their social and economic makeup. While they share similar typical weekly rents of around $200, the gap in wealth and family structure has become stark, with Lockhart having far more one-parent families and a higher share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Both areas have populations that are far older than the national figure, but the gap in their walkability and access to basic amenities remains vast.
