Corowa Norong

Corowa and Norong are nearby neighbours with very different characters. Corowa is a larger town where 31.5% of people are seniors, and 39.2% of residents live with a long-term health condition. It is more walkable (somewhat walkable) than Norong (car-dependent), with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of health services (56.7%) and groceries (45.0%). In contrast, Norong is sparsely populated and more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $1,875 compared to $1,130 in Corowa. More people in Norong work from home (24.1%) and a higher share of adults are working or looking for work (70.9%).

Everyday life shares some common ground, as both areas have a similar proportion of First Nations people and very few residents who speak little or no English. They also have similar shares of people earning over $2,000 a week and similar rates of unpaid childcare. However, the gap between them remains stark in terms of housing and age, with Corowa continuing to have far more renters and a much larger senior population.
