Quandary Temora

Temora and Quandary are two very different types of rural New South Wales areas. Temora is a larger town where people have more access to the basics, with 65.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and a walkability score of 5.0 (somewhat walkable). In contrast, Quandary is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of health services. There are also sharp differences in education and work; 21.7% of adults in Quandary hold a bachelor degree or higher compared to 11.1% in Temora, and 36.4% of people in Quandary work from home, while only 6.3% do so in Temora.

Everyday life in both places shares some common ground, as they have similar rates of long-term health conditions and nearly the same share of people who speak little or no English. However, the two areas differ in their social makeup. Temora has a much higher proportion of people living alone at 34.4% and more one-parent families at 16.0%. Meanwhile, Quandary is more likely to be home to couples with children, who make up 87.0% of families there.
