Kurri Kurri and Lochinvar (L) are nearby New South Wales areas with very different scales and layouts. Kurri Kurri is a much larger population centre where renting is far more common (29.1% compared to 18.7%) and the typical resident is younger at 35. Lochinvar (L) is a smaller, more affluent area with a typical household income of $1,970 per week, which is well higher than the $1,458 seen in Kurri Kurri.

Both areas also have similar proportions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents.
