Pilot Wilderness vs Thredbo

Thredbo and Pilot Wilderness are two nearby areas in New South Wales with very different levels of activity. Thredbo has a population of 405 people, while Pilot Wilderness is largely non-residential with no inhabitants. This difference is reflected in the landscape, as Thredbo has far higher street connectivity with one intersection per square kilometre compared to none in Pilot Wilderness. Thredbo also has a larger number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, with 12 residents.

Both areas are equally remote in terms of basic services, as neither has any schools, public transport routes, or transport stops within the measured zones. These similarities show that both places sit well below the national figure for accessibility to these services. While Thredbo maintains a small resident population, Pilot Wilderness remains an empty area of the wilderness.
