Cumborah Narran Lake

Cumborah and Narran Lake are both small, rural areas in New South Wales. Cumborah is more populous, but the two places differ sharply in age and wealth. Residents are far older in Cumborah, where the typical age is 58, compared to 40 in Narran Lake. Incomes are also much lower in Cumborah, where the typical household earns $497 a week, while the typical household in Narran Lake earns $3,750.

Both areas are entirely car-dependent and lack nearby schools, parks, or public transport.
