Sandy Crossing Ulmarra

Ulmarra and Sandy Crossing are nearby areas in the Clarence Valley with very different characters. Ulmarra is a larger, somewhat walkable place where residents are far older, with a typical age of 49 and 30.6% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, Sandy Crossing is a sparsely populated, car-dependent area with a much younger typical resident of 32. There are also stark differences in income and lifestyle; the typical weekly household income in Sandy Crossing is far higher at $1,624, compared to $984 in Ulmarra, and Sandy Crossing has a far higher share of people with no religion at 57.7%.

These two areas have tracked differently since 2011, with Ulmarra seeing a far higher number of people move in over the last five years. They do share a few traits, such as having almost no residents who speak a language other than English at home. Both areas also lack homes within a 15-minute walk of health services. While Ulmarra has more public transport and schools, both areas sit well below the national figure for adults with a bachelor degree or higher.
