Dry Plain Rhine Falls

Dry Plain and Rhine Falls are both sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. Dry Plain is a much older area, where the typical resident is 54 and 45.2% of people are aged 65 or over. In contrast, Rhine Falls is younger, with a typical age of 39 and a much higher share of children under 15 (20.5% compared to 7.1% in Dry Plain). Dry Plain also has a higher share of people with a bachelor degree or higher (22.9% versus 9.4%) and a higher typical weekly rent of $300, while Rhine Falls typically pays $140.

Both areas are effectively identical in many ways, with no residents using a language other than English or needing help with daily activities. This shared isolation is reflected in their infrastructure, as both have no public transport stops and no amenities within a 15-minute walk. While they share these characteristics, they differ in their domestic lives; for example, Rhine Falls has a much higher share of people caring for children unpaid (34.4%) compared to Dry Plain (8.6%).
