Woolgoolga Corindi Beach

Woolgoolga and Corindi Beach are neighbouring areas with very different social profiles. Woolgoolga is much more diverse, with 24.6% of people born overseas and 22.8% using a language other than English at home. It also has a much older population, with 27.5% aged 65 and over, and far more people living alone (30.8%). In contrast, Corindi Beach is more likely to have large homes, with 86.2% having three or more bedrooms, and a much higher share of people with no religion (49.1%).
