March Orange

Orange and March are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different scales. Orange is a large hub where the typical resident is 36 and about 44.2% of people moved in during the last five years. In contrast, March is sparsely populated and largely non-residential, with an older population typical of 42 and a much more stable community where only 14.3% of people arrived recently. Orange is somewhat walkable with an average school size of 441, while March is car-dependent with a much smaller typical school of 74.

Everyday life in both places shares similar patterns in health, with about 32% of residents in each area living with a long-term health condition. However, they differ in how people spend their time and live; for example, unpaid housework and volunteering are far higher in March. March also has more people working from home and a far higher share of homes owned outright. While Orange has a much higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population, both areas have similar rates of children under 15.
