There are stark contrasts in their residents: Nimmitabel has a far higher share of people aged 65 and over (28.1% compared to 12.0%) and children under 15 (17.0% versus 0.0%). In contrast, Steeple Flat has a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population (20.0% versus 3.4%) and a far higher share of people earning $2,000 or more a week (13.0% compared to 2.9%).
