Armidale Bundarra

Armidale and Bundarra (L) are two very different New South Wales locations. Armidale is a much larger centre with a younger population, where the typical resident is 34. It is more diverse and highly qualified, with 27.9% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher and 17.4% born overseas. In contrast, Bundarra (L) is a sparsely populated area where residents are far older, with a typical age of 53 and 28.3% aged 65 and over. Incomes are also much lower in Bundarra (L), where the typical weekly personal income is $432, compared to $707 in Armidale.

Both areas have a similar proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, sitting at around 8%. This shared characteristic exists alongside widening gaps in other areas. Since 2011, the difference in education and income has grown, and the gap in the number of people born overseas has increased. Residents in Bundarra (L) are also much more likely to own their homes outright, while renters are far more common in Armidale.
