Warregah Island Woombah

Woombah and Warregah Island are two nearby New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Woombah is much older, with a typical resident aged 56 and 34.7% of the population aged 65 and over. It also has a larger presence of people born overseas (10.3%) and more adults with a bachelor degree or higher (10.9%). In contrast, Warregah Island is sparsely populated and has a higher share of high earners, with 23.1% of people earning $2,000 or more a week compared to just 2.9% in Woombah.

While both areas are effectively alike in that no homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school, groceries or health services, the gap in mobility is widening. Woombah has far more public transport options and a higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park (47.6%), while Warregah Island has no such access. This difference in accessibility is mirrored in the population, as the number of people who have moved into Woombah in the last five years is far higher than in Warregah Island.
