Budgee Budgee Cross Roads

Budgee Budgee and Cross Roads are neighbouring areas in New South Wales. Budgee Budgee is the larger of the two, with residents who are far older, as the typical person is 50 compared to 40 in Cross Roads. There are also more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Budgee Budgee. In contrast, homes in Cross Roads are more crowded, with 3.2 people per home compared to 2.5 in Budgee Budgee, and the typical monthly home-loan payment is well higher at $3,033 compared to $2,167.

Both areas are car-dependent, as neither has any homes within a 15-minute walk of a park, school, health service or grocery store. This shared lack of local amenities is consistent with the similar weekly family incomes found in both places, which sit around $2,000. While Budgee Budgee has a slightly more connected street network, both areas remain very sparsely populated and lack public transport.
