Fernances Crossing Laguna

Laguna and Fernances Crossing are two sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. Laguna is far older, with a typical resident aged 57 and 35.8% of the population aged 65 or over, compared to 11.1% in Fernances Crossing. There are also notable gaps in education and wealth; people in Fernances Crossing are far more likely to have completed Year 12, while a higher share of Laguna residents earn $2,000 or more per week. Laguna is also more diverse, with a higher share of people born overseas and those using a language other than English at home.

Both areas are essentially car-dependent and lack nearby public transport or shops within walking distance. This shared reliance on cars is a defining feature of life in both places, as neither has a walkable amentiy score. While they share these similarities, the two areas differ in their family structures. Fernances Crossing has a much higher share of children under 15 and more couples with children, whereas Laguna has a higher proportion of one-parent families.
