Gongolgon Narran Lake

Gongolgon and Narran Lake are both sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. There are stark differences in wealth and age between them. The typical weekly household income in Narran Lake is $3,750, which is far higher than the $1,125 seen in Gongolgon. Residents are also far older in Gongolgon, with a typical age of 48 compared to 40 in Narran Lake. This age gap is even more pronounced among First Nations residents, who have a typical age of 35 in Gongolgon but just 7 in Narran Lake.

Daily life in both places is very similar, as both are car-dependent and have no homes within a 15-minute walk of a park, school, or grocery store. While Gongolgon has a few more public transport stops and one school, the two areas remain alike in their isolated nature. These patterns of low accessibility have stayed consistent over time.
