Coreen vs Sanger

Coreen and Sanger are two sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. Coreen is the larger of the two, with 122 people, while Sanger is almost entirely non-residential with only 5 residents. There are sharp contrasts in demographics and wealth; Coreen is much younger with a typical resident aged 34, while Sanger's typical resident is far older at 59. Incomes are also very different, with Coreen's typical family income at $2,150 per week, which is far higher than the $1,249 seen in Sanger.

Both areas have remained very similar in their lack of infrastructure since 2011. They are both car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of schools, groceries, or health services. Coreen has larger households than Sanger, with 2.9 people per home compared to 2.0, which is consistent with its younger population and higher number of people per bedroom.
