Coonamble Tooloon

Coonamble and Tooloon are nearby New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Coonamble is a larger hub with a younger population, where 21.9% of residents are children under 15 and 39.5% are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Tooloon is sparsely populated and far older, with a typical resident aged 49 compared to 38 in Coonamble. There is a sharp divide in income and education; Tooloon has a much higher share of adults with a bachelor degree (27.8% versus 9.1%) and a typical weekly household income of $2,250, which is far higher than the $1,206 seen in Coonamble.

Both areas share a very similar lack of residents who speak little or no English. This commonality exists alongside a stark contrast in how people live and work. Tooloon is largely car-dependent, while Coonamble is somewhat walkable, with many homes within a 15-minute walk of a park or public transport. Since 2011, these two places have continued to move in opposite directions, with Tooloon seeing a much higher proportion of people working from home (54.5%) compared to just 5.5% in Coonamble.
