Bundabah The Branch

Bundabah and The Branch are two small New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Bundabah is a much older community, where the typical resident is 59, compared to 44 in The Branch. This age gap is reflected in health and home life; Bundabah has a far higher share of people with long-term health conditions (40.0%) and more adults doing unpaid housework (38.5%). In contrast, The Branch is more focused on families, with 27.8% of people caring for children unpaid and a typical weekly family income that is far higher at $1,875, compared to $1,166 in Bundabah.

These two areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining largely car-dependent with no public transport options and almost no one using it to commute. They share a similar level of volunteering and a nearly identical share of people who speak only English at home. While Bundabah has slightly better walkability with more parks and amenities within a 15-minute walk, both areas sit well below the national figure for people with a university degree.
