Retreat Torryburn

Retreat (NSW) and Torryburn (Uralla - NSW) are both sparsely populated areas. Torryburn (Uralla - NSW) is much wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $2,124 compared to $725 in Retreat (NSW). Retreat (NSW) has a far older population, with a typical resident aged 56, and people are far more likely to have a long-term health condition (40.0%) or need help with daily activities (22.2%). In contrast, Torryburn (Uralla - NSW) has a high share of managers and people working in agriculture, forestry and fishing.

Daily life in both places is very similar in that no one uses public transport to commute and there are no shops or services within a 15-minute walk. They also share a lack of overseas-born residents and people who use a language other than English at home. While they are alike in these ways, the gap in typical incomes between the two areas remains very large.
