Glen Innes Shannon Vale

Glen Innes and Shannon Vale are nearby New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Glen Innes is a larger hub where more people rent, and a higher share live alone (36.9%). It has a much lower typical weekly household income of $904 and a higher rate of long-term health conditions (37.4%). In contrast, Shannon Vale is sparsely populated and wealthier, with a typical weekly income of $1,458. Residents there are more likely to work from home (29.1%) and have higher rates of Year 12 completion (54.1%).

Both areas are almost identical in the share of people who have no religion, at around 30%. This shared trait sits alongside a stark divide in accessibility; Glen Innes is somewhat walkable with many homes within a 15-minute walk of shops and health services, while Shannon Vale is car-dependent. The gap in employment is also significant, as adults working or looking for work are far more common in Shannon Vale (70.8%) than in Glen Innes (45.9%).
