Congo Tuross Head

Tuross Head and Congo are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different profiles. Tuross Head is much older, with a typical resident aged 62 and 44.6% of people aged 65 and over. This is reflected in the homes, where 60.1% are owned outright and more people suffer from long-term health conditions. In contrast, Congo has a younger population and is far more likely to have people in de facto relationships (24.5%) or households earning $3,000 or more a week (20.6%).

Both areas share similar levels of full-time employment and the same typical weekly rent of around $330 to $340. They have tracked as distinct neighbours since 2011, with Tuross Head remaining a more walkable hub where 42.5% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries. Congo is more car-dependent, as 0% of its homes are within a 15-minute walk of health services or groceries. While both areas are older than the national figure, Tuross Head is far older than the Australian average.
