Charleys Forest Northangera

Charleys Forest and Northangera are both sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. Northangera has a much higher proportion of adults with a bachelor degree or higher at 70.6%, compared to 30.0% in Charleys Forest. This is consistent with a large gap in typical weekly household incomes, which are far higher in Northangera at $2,166, while the typical household in Charleys Forest earns $850. Northangera also has a much older population, with 31.8% aged 65 and over, compared to 18.6% in Charleys Forest.

Both areas are effectively alike in that no one uses a language other than English at home and every household has a motor vehicle. This total reliance on cars is common to both, alongside the fact that neither area has any public transport stops. While they share these basic traits, they have diverged in other ways; for example, the gap in the number of people working from home has widened, with Northangera now far higher at 54.5% compared to 13.3% in Charleys Forest.
