Burra Royalla

Royalla and Burra are neighbouring rural areas in New South Wales. Royalla is generally younger and wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $3,655 compared to $2,892 in Burra. It is more family-oriented, with a well higher share of children under 15 (21.9% versus 17.5%) and more people caring for children unpaid. Royalla also has more schools nearby, and its residents are more likely to have a First Nations language at home. Burra is slightly older, with a higher share of people aged 65 and over (16.6% compared to 11.4%), and a higher proportion of residents with a bachelor degree (32.7% versus 24.5%).

These two areas are becoming more different in their household wealth, as the gap in typical weekly income has widened. However, they share many other similarities. Both consist entirely of separate houses, and almost the same share of homes have three or more bedrooms. They are also alike in their typical personal incomes and the proportion of people who have completed Year 12. In both places, public transport is virtually non-existent, and most residents live in detached homes.
