Cootralantra Wambrook

Cootralantra and Wambrook are both sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. Cootralantra is much younger and more family-oriented, with 25.2% of people being children and 36.9% of residents providing unpaid childcare. In contrast, Wambrook has a much older population; the typical resident is 52 and 35.4% are seniors. These differences extend to income and education, with Wambrook having a far higher share of people earning over $2,000 a week (24.3%) and more people who completed Year 12 (59.5%).

Both areas are completely car-dependent, with no walkable amenities or public transport options. This shared isolation is reflected in their similar demographics, as neither area has any Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander residents or people who speak little to no English. While Cootralantra has a far higher share of volunteers and a higher rate of adults working or looking for work, Wambrook has a higher proportion of people born overseas.
