Edith The Meadows

Edith (NSW) and The Meadows are both small, sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. They differ sharply in their demographics and wealth; Edith (NSW) is far older, with a typical resident aged 55 and 29.2% of people aged 65 and over, while The Meadows has no seniors. The Meadows is also wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $1,899 compared to $1,174 in Edith (NSW), and a far higher share of residents who completed Year 12 (75.0% compared to 43.1%).

Everyday life in both places is very similar in that they are car-dependent and lack local shops, health services or schools within walking distance. Both areas have almost identical typical weekly personal incomes, sitting around $580, and roughly the same share of people who have moved house in the last five years. While Edith (NSW) has a much higher share of volunteers and people doing unpaid housework, the two areas have tracked similarly in their lack of public transport options.
