Broughton Woodhill

Woodhill and Broughton are two sparsely populated neighbouring areas in New South Wales. Woodhill is more mobile and highly educated, with 52.2% of people moving in the last five years and 42.9% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. It also has a far higher share of people in de facto relationships (22.9% compared to 8.5% in Broughton). In contrast, Broughton has a much higher share of adults working or looking for work (68.6% compared to 46.8% in Woodhill) and a typical weekly household income that is well higher at $2,550.

These two places share a typical resident age of 57 and both have no one who commutes by public transport. However, the gap in their populations' mobility is widening, as Woodhill has seen a much larger increase in new arrivals. While both are largely rural, Woodhill has a slightly more walkable environment, with a few homes located within a 15-minute walk of a park.
