Goodooga Narran Lake

Goodooga and Narran Lake are two remote New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Goodooga is the larger center, where 76.2% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park and 75.8% are near a school. In contrast, Narran Lake is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of health services, schools, or parks. The two areas also differ sharply in wealth; the typical household income in Narran Lake is $3,750 per week, which is far higher than the $780 typical for Goodooga households.

Everyday life in both places shares a lack of easy access to transport, with neither area having any public transport stops or homes within a 10-minute walk of a station. They also both lack grocery stores within a 15-minute walk. While Narran Lake has a much higher typical income, Goodooga has a significantly larger First Nations population, with 136 people compared to 5 in Narran Lake. The First Nations community in Goodooga is also much older, with a typical age of 43 compared to just 7 years in Narran Lake.
