Lismore Coraki

Lismore (NSW) and Coraki are nearby areas with very different profiles. Lismore (NSW) is a larger hub where 19.2% of adults have a bachelor degree, compared to 6.7% in Coraki. It is also more transient and diverse, with 40.5% of people moving there in the last five years and 13.1% arriving recently from overseas. In contrast, Coraki is more residential and walkable, where 93.2% of homes are separate houses and a far higher share of homes are within a 15-minute walk of schools, parks, and health services.

Since 2011, the gap between these two places has widened across several measures, including education, renting, and income. However, they still share some common ground, as both have about the same proportion of one-parent families and a typical weekly rent of $300. They also have nearly identical numbers of people per home and per bedroom, and both sit well above the national figure for the share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents.
