Coolamon Currawarna

Coolamon and Currawarna are nearby New South Wales areas with very different layouts. Coolamon is a more developed hub where 70.7% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, while Currawarna is car-dependent with no homes within a 15-minute walk of a school or health service. These differences extend to the people; Coolamon has a much older population, with 22.9% aged 65 and over compared to 9.0% in Currawarna. Consequently, Coolamon has a far higher rate of long-term health conditions (35.3% vs 23.1%) and people needing help with daily activities (7.5% vs 2.5%).

Daily life in both places shares several common threads, such as similar proportions of adults with a bachelor degree or higher and an almost identical lack of public transport use for commuting. They also share similar rates of home ownership and unemployment. However, the gap in wealth is noticeable, as the typical household income in Currawarna is $1,875, which is well higher than the $1,427 seen in Coolamon.
