Cumborah Walgett

Walgett and Cumborah are two New South Wales areas with very different populations. Walgett is much younger and more family-oriented, with 23.1% of people under 15 and a typical resident aged 35. It has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 24.1%. Cumborah is sparsely populated and much older; the typical resident is 58, and 34.8% of people are aged 65 and over. Incomes are far higher in Walgett, where the typical household earns $1,554 a week, compared to just $497 in Cumborah.

Both areas are almost identical in that virtually no one commutes by public transport. This shared lack of transit reflects their rural setting, though Walgett has more separate houses and a higher share of renters. Cumborah is more likely to have homes owned outright, and its residents are more likely to be volunteers. While Walgett is more walkable with better access to schools and parks, Cumborah has a much higher share of people living alone.
