Dubbo Mogriguy

Dubbo and Mogriguy are nearby New South Wales areas with very different characters. Dubbo is a larger hub where the typical resident is 35 and 21.5% of the population are children. It has a more diverse community, with 10.4% of people born overseas, and a more qualified workforce, with 18.9% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Mogriguy is sparsely populated and the typical resident is far older at 44. Residents there are much more likely to own their homes outright (40.5% compared to 28.1% in Dubbo) and work from home (24.0% compared to 7.8% in Dubbo).
