Dollys Flat Wingham

Wingham and Dollys Flat are neighbouring areas with very different scales and layouts. Wingham is a larger centre with a population of 5,395 and a somewhat walkable layout, while Dollys Flat is sparsely populated with only 65 residents and is car-dependent. Wingham has far more children (18.0%) and a much higher share of one-parent families (23.2%), which is consistent with its higher rate of people caring for children unpaid (24.8%). In contrast, Dollys Flat has a much higher share of people who have completed Year 12 (50.9% compared to 31.5% in Wingham), more volunteers (35.5%), and a higher rate of homes owned outright (69.2%).

Everyday life is similar in both places in that almost no one uses public transport to commute. This is partly because Dollys Flat has no public transport stops at all, while Wingham's residents rarely use them. They also share a similar typical resident age, with Wingham at 47 and Dollys Flat at 54. Both areas have a very small number of people who speak little or no English.
