Norway Oberon

Oberon and Norway are neighbouring areas in New South Wales, but they have very different profiles. Oberon is a larger hub where 17.3% of people are children and 18.5% of families are one-parent homes. In contrast, Norway is sparsely populated and has no children under 15. The two areas differ sharply in wealth and work; Norway has a far higher share of people earning $2,000 or more a week (17.5% compared to 6.6% in Oberon) and many more people working from home (37.0% versus 7.8%).

Everyday life shares some similarities, with both areas having a similar typical weekly personal income and a nearly identical share of people born overseas. However, the gap in housing and accessibility is wide. Norway is car-dependent, while Oberon is somewhat walkable with more people living within a 15-minute walk of health services and groceries. The two areas have also tracked differently since 2011, with more people moving into Oberon over the last five years.
