Alstonville Clunes

Alstonville and Clunes (L) (NSW) are nearby areas with very different profiles. Alstonville is much older, with a typical resident aged 51 and 33.4% of people aged 65 and over. It also has more residents living alone (33.8%) and far more people with long-term health conditions. Clunes (L) (NSW) has a more qualified and wealthier population; 31.7% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, and typical household weekly incomes are well higher at $1,906 compared to $1,246 in Alstonville. While Alstonville has more homes within a 15-minute walk of schools and parks, Clunes (L) (NSW) is almost entirely made up of separate houses.

Since 2011, the two areas have diverged in several ways. The gap in typical age has narrowed, but the difference in income and education has widened. Despite these shifting trends, the areas remain alike in some respects, such as having almost identical rates of volunteering and very similar proportions of people who speak little or no English. Both areas also share a similar share of full-time employment and a nearly identical percentage of people identifying as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander.
