Mandalong Ravensdale

Mandalong and Ravensdale are both rural New South Wales areas with small populations. There are significant differences in wealth and housing; Ravensdale has a much higher share of households earning $3,000 or more per week (38.5% compared to 22.9% in Mandalong) and more people earning over $2,000 weekly. In contrast, Mandalong has many more large homes, with 82.4% having three or more bedrooms compared to 46.2% in Ravensdale. Mandalong is also more diverse, with a higher share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and those who use another language at home.

They share a total reliance on cars, as neither has any public transport stops or a 15-minute walk to local amenities. While Ravensdale has seen more movement recently—with 50.8% of residents arriving in the last five years compared to 26.6% in Mandalong—both places have populations that are older than the national figure.
