Burraboi Wakool

Wakool and Burraboi are two nearby, sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. Wakool is more walkable (mostly car-dependent) than Burraboi (car-dependent), with more homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and schools. Residents in Wakool are generally older, and the area has far higher rates of long-term health conditions (38.9%) and people needing help with daily activities (13.4%). In contrast, Burraboi has a much higher typical weekly family income of $1,792, compared to $1,062 in Wakool.

These two areas share several traits, including the fact that every single home is a separate detached house and that no one uses public transport to commute. However, some gaps between them have widened since 2011, such as the difference in the share of people who have no religion, which is now far higher in Wakool. This gap is consistent with other differences, as Wakool also has a much higher proportion of homes owned outright (61.8%) and a larger First Nations population (9.2%).
