Colinton Michelago

Michelago and Colinton (NSW) are nearby rural areas with very different demographic profiles. Michelago is much younger, with a typical resident aged 38 and 24.3% of the population being children under 15. This helps explain why 31.6% of people there are unpaid carers for children, a figure far higher than in Colinton (NSW), where only 7.0% are children and only 9.9% are child carers. Wealth is also more concentrated in Michelago, where 40.7% of households earn $3,000 or more a week, compared to 25.0% in Colinton (NSW). In contrast, Colinton (NSW) has a much older typical resident (51 years) and a higher proportion of homes owned outright (47.7% versus 25.6% in Michelago).

Both areas share a strong reliance on cars, as every single home in both places has at least one motor vehicle. They also have similar levels of volunteering and a nearly identical share of people who speak little or no English. While Michelago has more amenities within walking distance, such as groceries and schools, both areas are now equally remote from health services by foot.
