Crookwell Lost River

Crookwell and Lost River are nearby areas in New South Wales, though they differ sharply in scale and lifestyle. Crookwell is a larger hub where 30.5% of residents are aged 65 or over and a typical weekly household income is $1,196. In contrast, Lost River is sparsely populated with a much higher typical weekly household income of $2,562. Lost River also has a more highly qualified workforce, with a far higher share of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher (22.8% compared to 10.4% in Crookwell).

Both areas are similar in that very few people speak little or no English. This shared trait sits alongside a stark contrast in how people live and work. Crookwell is somewhat walkable, with many homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services, while Lost River is car-dependent. This is consistent with the fact that 34.5% of people in Lost River work from home, a far higher figure than the 8.4% in Crookwell.
