Gidginbung Pucawan

Gidginbung and Pucawan are both sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. Gidginbung is much younger, with a typical resident aged 38 and children under 15 making up 26.1% of the population. In contrast, Pucawan is far older, with a typical resident aged 60 and half of all residents aged 65 or over. Financial profiles also differ sharply; typical weekly household income is far higher in Gidginbung at $1,812, compared to $849 in Pucawan.
