Mummulgum Piora

Mummulgum and Piora are both sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. Piora has a much older population, with a typical resident aged 55 compared to 45 in Mummulgum. This age gap is mirrored in the workforce; Piora has far more adults with bachelor degrees (11.5% versus 0.0%) and more households earning $3,000 or more a week (10.7% versus 0.0%). In contrast, Mummulgum is home to more children, with 20.0% of residents under 15, and it has a far higher share of people caring for children unpaid (25.9% versus 9.8%).

Everyday life in both places is very similar, with almost identical rates of First Nations residents, typical rents, and monthly mortgage payments. Both areas are car-dependent, as no homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park or a 15-minute-city walkshed. While Mummulgum currently has more public transport stops and better access to a school, residents in Piora face a longer walk to the nearest stop. This gap in accessibility has remained wide over time.
