Rosewood Taradale

Rosewood (Snowy Valleys - NSW) and Taradale (NSW) are neighbouring rural areas with very different populations. Rosewood is much younger and more diverse, with 11.9% of people identifying as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and 25.2% of residents being children under 15. This is a sharp contrast to Taradale (NSW), where there are no Aboriginal residents and only 9.1% are children. Rosewood also has a more active presence of families, with 15.2% being one-parent families, compared to none in Taradale (NSW).

These two places have seen their differences in stability shift, as the gap in people who moved in the last five years has widened. Despite this, they share a similar economic profile, with typical household incomes sitting at $1,312 a week in both areas. Both are also very remote from services, with no one in either location living within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services.
