Dungog Flat Tops

Dungog and Flat Tops are neighbouring areas in New South Wales, but they differ sharply in scale and character. Dungog is a more populated centre where 14.9% of people are children under 15, while Flat Tops is sparsely populated and has no children. Flat Tops has a much more highly qualified workforce, with 42.9% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 11.8% in Dungog. Additionally, the typical resident in Flat Tops is far older at 64, whereas the typical age in Dungog is 52.

These two places are similar in that almost no one speaks a language other than English at home. The gap in their connectivity is widening, as Dungog is somewhat walkable with many homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and groceries, while Flat Tops remains car-dependent with no such amenities nearby. This is consistent with the higher share of people working or looking for work in Flat Tops, who earn a typical weekly household income of $1,625, compared to $1,045 in Dungog.
