Fargunyah Sandigo

Sandigo and Fargunyah are both sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. Sandigo is the older of the two, with a typical resident aged 41 compared to just 29 in Fargunyah. There are notable differences in health and income; Fargunyah has a much higher share of people with long-term health conditions (45.5% versus 17.2% in Sandigo) and a typical weekly family income that is much lower at $1,125, while Sandigo's is far higher at $2,214. Fargunyah also has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 13.6%, while Sandigo has none.

Both areas share a total reliance on cars, as they are both car-dependent with no public transport and no walkable shops, schools, or health services. They are also alike in that no residents use a language other than English at home. These similarities persist across the landscape, as both areas have a similar average terrain slope and no homes within walking distance of basic amenities.
