Taree Wingham

Taree and Wingham are neighbouring New South Wales towns with very different housing and accessibility profiles. Taree is more densely built, with 73.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a local centre, compared to 47.2% in Wingham. Taree also has a much higher share of renters at 37.1%, while Wingham is dominated by separate houses, which make up 92.0% of its dwellings. There are also significant differences for First Nations people; Taree has a much higher unemployment rate of 20.0% compared to 5.6% in Wingham.

The two areas share a very similar social and economic foundation, with nearly identical shares of adults holding a bachelor degree and almost the same typical weekly personal incomes of $544 in Taree and $577 in Wingham. This common ground exists alongside some widening gaps, such as in public transport where Wingham has seen far higher numbers of stops and departures per 1,000 people.
