Merriangaah Quidong

Quidong and Merriangaah are both sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. There are stark differences in their demographics and wealth. Quidong is far younger, with a typical resident aged 23, while residents in Merriangaah are far older at 61. This age gap is reflected in income; the typical weekly household income in Quidong is $1,625, which is far higher than the $649 seen in Merriangaah. Quidong also has a larger First Nations population, and the typical weekly income for First Nations households there is $2,750, compared to just $75 in Merriangaah.

Both areas are effectively car-dependent, with almost no homes within a short walk of shops, health services, or public transport. This shared lack of local amenities is a defining feature for both places, as neither has a walkability score above 0.1. While Merriangaah has a slightly higher share of homes near a park, both areas remain largely rural and non-residential.
