Cobargo Quaama

Cobargo and Quaama are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different layouts. Cobargo is somewhat walkable, with 58.0% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services, while Quaama is mostly car-dependent and no homes have such access. This difference is reflected in daily travel, as Quaama has far more people driving to work and Cobargo has more people who walk. Cobargo also has a larger First Nations population, though residents in Quaama are far older and have well higher personal and household incomes.

Everyday life shares many similarities in both places, as they have nearly identical shares of people aged 65 and over, a similar number of people per home, and the same proportion of residents who speak only English. Both areas are far older than the national figure, and their typical weekly incomes are very close, sitting at $498 in Cobargo and $471 in Quaama. The gap in full-time employment is large, with it being far higher in Quaama, where 54.5% of the population are employed full-time.
