Skinners Shoot Talofa

Skinners Shoot and Talofa are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with small populations. Skinners Shoot has a more diverse and highly educated population, with 29.2% born overseas and 46.5% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Talofa is wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $3,062 compared to $1,874 in Skinners Shoot. Public transport is also very different; Talofa has many more stops and departures, while Skinners Shoot has none, leaving residents there with a much longer walk to the nearest stop.

Everyday life is quite similar in both places, as they share the same typical personal income and an equal share of volunteers. Both areas are very car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or schools. While they share these practicalities, the gap in household wealth is far higher in Talofa, and the number of people with no religion is far higher in Skinners Shoot.
