Gunnedah Manilla

Gunnedah and Manilla are two New South Wales towns with very different age profiles and economic standings. Gunnedah is much younger, with a typical resident aged 36 compared to 48 in Manilla. This younger population is reflected in the fact that Gunnedah has a well higher share of children under 15 (21.9%) and more adults working or looking for work (57.4% versus 42.5% in Manilla). Gunnedah also sees much higher typical incomes, with typical weekly household earnings of $1,429 compared to $936 in Manilla.

Both towns are almost identical in their proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents, who make up about 18% of each population. While they share similar home sizes, Manilla is more walkable, with 69.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries compared to just 29.1% in Gunnedah. However, the gap in typical incomes has widened since 2011, and the age difference between the two towns has also grown.
