Alstonville Dunoon

Alstonville and Dunoon (L) are nearby New South Wales areas with very different demographics. Alstonville is much older, with a typical resident aged 51 and 33.4% of people aged 65 and over, which helps explain why 38.3% of residents have a long-term health condition. Dunoon (L) is younger and more family-oriented, with 26.5% of its population being children under 15. Alstonville is very walkable, while Dunoon (L) is mostly car-dependent, a contrast seen in the fact that 72.2% of Alstonville homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, compared to 0.0% in Dunoon (L).

The gap in the typical age of residents has narrowed since 2011, falling from 19 years to 13 years. Despite this trend, the two areas remain distinct, though they share similar rates of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations and a similar share of volunteers. They also have nearly identical proportions of people who speak a language other than English at home. Both areas sit well below the national figure for people born overseas.
