Goulburn Marulan

Goulburn and Marulan (L) are nearby New South Wales areas with very different housing and age profiles. Goulburn is a larger hub where renting is far more common at 34% and residents are noticeably older, with a typical age of 40. In contrast, Marulan (L) is a smaller area with a younger typical resident aged 33 and a much higher share of separate houses (97.2%) and large homes with three or more bedrooms (89.1%). Goulburn offers better access to essential services, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of health services (41.1% compared to 0% in Marulan (L)).

Both areas share a very similar typical weekly personal income of $747 and an almost identical proportion of people who have moved in the last five years. Despite these similarities, they have drifted apart in other ways since 2011. The gap in rental rates has widened significantly, while the age difference has also grown. Goulburn has also seen a larger increase in recent overseas arrivals, which helps explain why it now has a higher share of people using another language at home.
