Harwood Warregah Island

Harwood and Warregah Island are neighbouring areas in the Clarence Valley with very different profiles. Harwood is more populated and has a high share of one-parent families (27.1%) and people in de facto relationships (17.6%). It is more connected, with a walkability score of 3.0 (mostly car-dependent) and a higher number of public transport stops. In contrast, Warregah Island is sparsely populated and has a much higher proportion of high earners, with 23.1% of people earning $2,000 or more a week, compared to just 3.6% in Harwood.

Both areas are effectively identical in that no one speaks little or no English and neither has any homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services. While Harwood is more active in terms of volunteering (11.7%) and unpaid care, the two areas share a similar level of school advantage. This lack of nearby essential services means both places remain reliant on cars for everyday needs.
