Parkes Trundle

Parkes and Trundle (L) are two New South Wales areas with very different demographics. Trundle (L) is a sparsely populated area where residents are far older, with a typical age of 55 and 31.6% aged 65 or over. In contrast, Parkes is much larger and younger, with a typical age of 39 and a higher share of children under 15 (20.5%). Economic gaps are also wide; typical weekly personal income in Parkes is $716, which is well higher than the $510 seen in Trundle (L).

Income gaps between the two have widened since 2011, with the difference in typical weekly household income growing from $36 to $476. Despite this, both areas are somewhat walkable and share similar rates of people using other languages at home. They also have nearly identical proportions of people who identify with no religion and those who live in de facto relationships.
