Griffith Kooba

Griffith (NSW) and Kooba are nearby areas with very different profiles. Griffith (NSW) is a larger centre that is much more diverse, with 27.2% of people born overseas and 28.1% using a language other than English at home. It is also more accessible, described as somewhat walkable, while Kooba is car-dependent. Kooba is sparsely populated and far older, with a typical resident aged 49 compared to 36 in Griffith (NSW).

Both areas are similar in how many people live in each home. However, the two places differ in almost every other way, from the typical weekly rent — which is $115 higher in Griffith (NSW) — to the presence of public transport and shops. While Griffith (NSW) has a typical resident who is a little younger than the national figure, Kooba's population is far older than the Australian average.
