Curlew Waters Kiacatoo

Kiacatoo and Curlew Waters are both sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. Kiacatoo is a much younger place, with 39% of its residents being children under 15, while Curlew Waters has no children in that age group. This helps explain why unpaid childcare is far higher in Kiacatoo at 45.2%. Other major differences include income and health; the typical weekly personal income is well higher in Kiacatoo at $849 compared to $575 in Curlew Waters, and people with long-term health conditions are far more common in Curlew Waters at 33.3%.
