Thule Wakool

Wakool and Thule are nearby areas in New South Wales, though they differ significantly in population and makeup. Wakool is larger and more family-oriented, with 16.8% of people being children under 15 and 21.1% of residents in de facto relationships. It is also more walkable (mostly car-dependent) and has a higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 9.2%. Thule is sparsely populated and tends to have older residents; the typical person there is 61. Thule also has a much more highly qualified workforce, with 28.0% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 4.7% in Wakool.

Both areas are effectively alike in that no one uses a language other than English at home. This shared trait sits alongside a similar residential feel, as the number of people per home is nearly identical. However, the two areas have drifted apart in other ways; the gap in educational attainment is far higher in Thule, while the gap in those needing help with daily activities is far higher in Wakool. Thule also has a much higher share of adults working or looking for work at 84.0%.
