Galong Harden

Harden and Galong are two nearby New South Wales areas with very different layouts. Harden is a more connected hub, described as somewhat walkable, where 88.4% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school and 65.1% are near groceries. In contrast, Galong is mostly car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of schools or shops. The two areas also differ in age and income; residents are far older in Harden, where the typical age is 52 compared to 44 in Galong, and Galong has a higher share of people earning $2,000 or more a week (8.6% versus 4.6%).

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to the share of people living alone, at around 37%. They also share similar proportions of children under 15 and a nearly equal number of volunteers. While Galong has a much higher share of people working in agriculture, forestry and fishing, both areas sit well below the national figure for the share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher.
