Marom Creek Wyrallah

Wyrallah and Marom Creek are neighbouring areas in New South Wales. Wyrallah is the more family-oriented of the two, with children under 15 making up 20.1% of the population, compared to just 4.8% in Marom Creek. This is consistent with a younger typical age in Wyrallah (43) than in Marom Creek (51). Wyrallah also has more people working full-time (65.7%) and a higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (19.0% against 11.1% in Marom Creek).

These two areas are similar in that almost every home is a separate house, and they share nearly identical typical weekly household incomes. However, the gaps between them are widening in some areas, such as the share of people with no religion, which is now far higher in Marom Creek (53.4%) than in Wyrallah (38.9%). Both areas are largely car-dependent, as they each have zero public transport stops and no residents commute by public transport.
