Coolah Premer

Coolah and Premer are two nearby New South Wales areas with very different layouts. Coolah is more developed for pedestrians, with a walkability score of 5.2 (somewhat walkable) and 68.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Premer is car-dependent with a score of 1.8 and no homes within a short walk of shops or health services. There are also notable social gaps; for example, one-parent families make up 40.0% of households in Premer, compared to just 9.3% in Coolah. Coolah also has a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher at 10.1%, while Premer has 0.0%.

Both areas are very similar in the proportion of people born overseas, which sits around 6%. They also share similar rates of people caring for children unpaid and those performing significant unpaid housework. While they have these commonalities, the gap in walkability and local access has remained wide, and Coolah continues to have a far higher share of people living alone than Premer.
