Corrowong Merriangaah

Corrowong and Merriangaah are both sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. There is a stark contrast in typical earnings between them; weekly family income is far higher in Corrowong at $2,249, compared to $1,149 in Merriangaah. This trend is seen across all income measures, with typical personal weekly pay being $833 in Corrowong and $433 in Merriangaah. However, the two areas differ in how people live at home, with people per bedroom being far higher in Merriangaah at 1.2.

These two places share a car-dependent lifestyle, as both have walkability scores that indicate they are car-dependent. They are also very similar in that no one lives within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, or schools. This shared lack of local services stands in contrast to the widening gap in typical incomes, where Corrowong's higher earnings are now far more pronounced than in Merriangaah.
