Cobar Park Marrangaroo

Marrangaroo and Cobar Park are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Marrangaroo is a wealthier area where the typical household earns $2,283 a week and typical weekly rent is $353. In contrast, the typical household income in Cobar Park is much lower at $774, with typical rent at $157. There is also a sharp contrast in health and age; children under 15 make up 44.4% of Cobar Park, compared to just 9.5% in Marrangaroo, and 50% of Cobar Park residents have a long-term health condition compared to 17.6% in Marrangaroo.

Daily life shares some similarities, as both areas have the same proportion of people per bedroom and no residents who speak little or no English. While Cobar Park is far more likely to have children and people needing help with daily activities, both areas sit well above the national figure for their Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations. This shared connection is seen in both places, though the typical First Nations resident is far older in Marrangaroo at 30 compared to just 9 in Cobar Park.
