Colly Blue Spring Ridge

Spring Ridge and Colly Blue are neighbouring areas in New South Wales, though they differ in size and population. Spring Ridge is more established, with a typical weekly personal income of $774 and a population where 18.8% are seniors. In contrast, Colly Blue is sparsely populated and has no residents aged 65 and over. Spring Ridge also offers more local amenities; about 42% of its homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services, while Colly Blue has no such access. This makes Spring Ridge mostly car-dependent, whereas Colly Blue is completely car-dependent.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, maintaining a shared typical resident age of 40 and almost identical typical weekly household incomes. They are both rural in nature, with neither area having any public transport stops or residents who speak a language other than English at home. While Spring Ridge has seen more people move in over the last five years, both places remain well below the national figure for recent arrivals.
