Goonengerry Wanganui

Goonengerry and Wanganui are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different profiles. Goonengerry is much older, with 19.0% of people aged 65 and over compared to just 7.8% in Wanganui. This is reflected in the health and care data, as Goonengerry has a well higher share of people with long-term health conditions (24.4% versus 15.7%) and far more people providing unpaid care (13.4% versus 0.0%). In contrast, Wanganui has a far higher share of people using another language at home (15.7% versus 4.7%) and a far higher share who finished Year 12 (77.1% versus 59.9%).

While these areas are close by, the gap in their public transport access is widening. Goonengerry has far more public transport stops and departures per 1,000 people, and it is the only one of the two with any homes within a 15-minute walk of a stop. Both areas are effectively alike in their lack of local amenities, as no homes in either place are within a 15-minute walk of a park, health services, or groceries.
