Narrabri Baradine

Narrabri and Baradine (L) are two New South Wales towns with very different profiles. Narrabri is a larger hub where more adults are working or looking for work (58.7% compared to 39.7% in Baradine (L)) and typical weekly personal incomes are well higher at $794. In contrast, Baradine (L) is much older, with a typical resident aged 50 and 30.4% of the population aged 65 and over. Home ownership also differs sharply; 50.2% of Baradine (L) homes are owned outright, while Narrabri has a much higher share of renters at 37.1%.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several ways, such as the widening gaps in typical age and income. Despite this, they share a similar proportion of children under 15 and nearly identical rates of volunteering. They also both have a very low share of people who speak little or no English. While Baradine (L) is more walkable—with 93.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services compared to 49.3% in Narrabri—both areas sit well below the national figure for people with a bachelor degree or higher.
