Coomba Bay Wallis Lake

Coomba Bay and Wallis Lake are neighbouring areas in New South Wales, though they differ in scale and population. Coomba Bay is home to 168 people, while Wallis Lake is sparsely populated with only 6 residents. The two areas show a sharp contrast in wealth: typical household weekly incomes are far higher in Coomba Bay at $1,583 compared to $900 in Wallis Lake. However, typical family weekly income is well higher in Wallis Lake, where it reaches $2,750. Residents in Wallis Lake are also far older, with a typical age of 72 compared to 58 in Coomba Bay.

Daily life in both places is heavily car-dependent, with neither area having a walkable neighbourhood. They both lack homes within a short walk of groceries, health services, or public transport. This shared reliance on cars is consistent across the region, as both areas sit far below the national figure for walkability. While Coomba Bay has more people per home, both areas are significantly older than the Australian average.
