Goonellabah Tregeagle

Goonellabah and Tregeagle are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Goonellabah is a larger hub where the typical resident is 41, while Tregeagle is much older with a typical age of 53. There is a stark contrast in housing and wealth; 24.7% of Tregeagle households earn $3,000 or more a week compared to 11.5% in Goonellabah, and 53.8% of homes in Tregeagle are owned outright. Living patterns also differ, with Goonellabah having far more people living alone (31.3%) and one-parent families (20.2%).

Daily life in both places shares a similar proportion of people aged 65 and over, and very few residents in either area speak little or no English. These two areas have tracked differently since 2011, as Goonellabah has become a more mobile hub where 40.7% of people moved in the last five years. This is consistent with its role as a more accessible centre, with a somewhat walkable score and far more public transport and shops within a 15-minute walk. In contrast, Tregeagle remains car-dependent, with every single home being a separate house.
