Goulburn Collector

Goulburn and Collector (L) are nearby New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Goulburn is a larger hub where 34% of homes are rented and 20.9% of people are aged 65 or over. In contrast, Collector (L) is a sparsely populated area where most people are younger and more affluent; 26.9% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, and 29.2% of households earn $3,000 or more a week. This higher income level in Collector (L) is consistent with a much higher share of adults working or looking for work (76.7%) compared to Goulburn (56.6%).

Everyday life in both places shares a similar feel in terms of terrain and a somewhat walkable environment. However, the gap between them has grown significantly since 2011, particularly regarding education and income. While Goulburn has far more people living alone (33.1%) and more who speak a language other than English at home (6.7%), Collector (L) has seen a sharp increase in the share of residents who completed Year 12, now 24 percentage points higher than in Goulburn.
