Harden Wombat

Harden and Wombat are nearby areas in New South Wales with very different layouts. Harden is a more developed hub where 65.1% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 68.9% are near health services, making it somewhat walkable. In contrast, Wombat is car-dependent, with almost no homes within walking distance of these amenities. Harden also has a much older population, with 32.6% aged 65 and over compared to 20.0% in Wombat, and more First Nations residents at 8.7% versus 3.6%.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining rural centres with a low share of residents holding bachelor degrees. They are effectively alike in their typical weekly rent of $220 and their similar levels of tertiary education. However, Wombat is more likely to have people working from home at 21.2%, while Harden is far more connected with a higher number of public transport stops and departures per 1,000 people.
