Cope Home Rule

Cope and Home Rule are both sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. Cope has a much higher share of seniors at 29.2% compared to 12.7% in Home Rule. This age difference is reflected in home life, with 30.5% of people in Cope caring for children unpaid, which is far higher than the 7.1% in Home Rule. Home Rule has a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 18.2%, and typical weekly rents there are far higher at $385, compared to $200 in Cope.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining car-dependent with no public transport or walkable amenities. They share similar typical weekly family incomes, around $1,400, and neither area has any residents who speak little or no English. While Home Rule has a much higher share of First Nations household income, the typical age of residents in both places remains above the national figure.
