Kiar Mandalong

Mandalong and Kiar are neighbouring areas in New South Wales, but they differ sharply in their populations and demographics. Mandalong is the larger of the two, with a typical weekly household income that is far higher than in Kiar ($1,906 compared to $1,125). Education levels are also much higher in Mandalong, where 18.6% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher and 46.9% completed Year 12, while Kiar records 0.0% for degrees and 20.8% for Year 12 completion. Kiar is far more likely to have children under 15 (28.0% versus 13.2%) and people with no religion (52.0% versus 39.3%).

These two places have tracked differently since 2011, with Kiar becoming much more dependent on public transport as it now has far more public transport stops and departures per 1,000 people. Yet they share a common lack of local amenities; in both areas, almost no homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park, school, or health service. Both are also older than the national figure, with typical resident ages of 47 in Mandalong and 50 in Kiar.
