Jerrawa Oolong

Jerrawa and Oolong are neighbouring rural areas in New South Wales, but they have very different profiles. Jerrawa has a much older population, with a typical resident aged 52, and a higher share of people needing help with daily activities (15.1%). In contrast, Oolong has a more active workforce, with 71.4% of people employed full-time and a typical weekly personal income of $850, which is well higher than Jerrawa's $575. Education levels also differ sharply, as 63.4% of Oolong residents completed Year 12 compared to 38.9% in Jerrawa.

These two areas have drifted apart in several ways since 2011, most notably in how people work. Oolong has seen a surge in remote work, with 35.7% of people working from home, while only 12.0% do so in Jerrawa. Despite this, the two areas remain similar in some basic ways; they share the same typical weekly household income of $1,875 and have almost identical rates of people born overseas. Both areas are also largely car-dependent, with no public transport stops available to residents.
