Gocup South Gundagai

South Gundagai and Gocup are nearby rural areas in New South Wales with very different economic profiles. Gocup is much wealthier, with a typical household income of $2,431 per week compared to $1,279 in South Gundagai. This gap extends to the workforce, where Gocup has a far higher share of adults working or looking for work (80.5% against 55.9%). South Gundagai is more likely to have one-parent families (15.5% vs 4.5%) and people living alone, while Gocup has a higher share of large homes with three or more bedrooms.

These two areas have tracked in opposite directions since 2011, with the gap in typical household income widening by $1,152. Despite this, they share a similar housing style, as almost every home in both places is a separate detached house. They also both lack any public transport stops or departures per 1,000 people. While South Gundagai has more walkable access to parks, schools and groceries, both areas are effectively car-dependent.
