North Bourke Barringun

North Bourke and Barringun are sparsely populated areas located about 101 km apart across the New South Wales and Queensland border. There are stark differences in wealth and age between them; the typical personal income in North Bourke is $1,101 per week, which is far higher than the $537 seen in Barringun. Residents are also far older in North Bourke, with a typical age of 42 compared to 32 in Barringun. North Bourke is more developed for its size, with one school and more amenities within walking distance, while Barringun has no schools nearby and a typical family income that is well lower at $1,875.

Everyday life in both places is defined by a total reliance on cars, as both are rated as car-dependent and have no homes within walking distance of groceries, health services, or public transport. They also share a very low density of people per bedroom, at 0.80 in each area. This lack of local infrastructure is a common thread, even as the gap in typical personal incomes between the two has remained wide.
