Springfield (Snowy Monaro Regional - NSW) and Mount Cooper (NSW) are both sparsely populated areas located about 14 km apart. Springfield has a population of 34, while Mount Cooper is even smaller with only 8 people. Residents in Mount Cooper are far older, with a typical age of 64 compared to 48 in Springfield.
