Cobaki Cobaki Lakes

Cobaki and Cobaki Lakes are neighbouring areas in New South Wales, though they differ significantly in their makeup. Cobaki is more family-oriented, with 19.7% of people being children under 15 compared to none in Cobaki Lakes. This is consistent with Cobaki having a far higher share of people caring for children unpaid (30.9%) and a higher number of bachelor degrees (21.8%). In contrast, Cobaki Lakes is sparsely populated and has a far higher share of people with no religion (52.4%) and more people working or looking for work (70.7%).

These two areas have tracked similarly in some respects since 2011, as both remain car-dependent with no public transport stops or walkable amenities. They are also alike in having almost no Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents and very few people who speak little or no English. While Cobaki has a far higher share of high earners making $2,000 or more a week, both areas have a typical household size of around 2.8 to 2.9 people, which is close to the national figure.
