Failford Tuncurry

Tuncurry and Failford are neighbouring New South Wales areas that offer very different lifestyles. Tuncurry is a larger, very walkable hub where 40.6% of people live alone and 27.5% of households rent. In contrast, Failford is car-dependent, with a higher share of families and a strong preference for home ownership, as 66.6% of homes are owned outright. These differences extend to health and age; Tuncurry has a higher proportion of people with long-term health conditions (46.6%) and a slightly older typical resident at 62.

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to typical weekly personal income, which sits around $500. They also share similar levels of overseas births and the use of other languages at home. While Tuncurry provides far better access to shops and health services within a short walk, Failford has a higher proportion of children under 15 and a First Nations population that is far older.
