Cobar Remainder of State/Territory

Remainder of State/Territory (NSW) and Cobar are two very different types of places in New South Wales. Cobar is a concentrated town where 14.7% of people are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, compared to 4.7% in Remainder of State/Territory (NSW). The typical resident in Cobar is much younger at 36, while the typical person in Remainder of State/Territory (NSW) is 46. There is also a sharp contrast in housing; 36.5% of Cobar households rent, which is far higher than the 12.9% in Remainder of State/Territory (NSW), where 47% of homes are owned outright.

These two areas track closely on some fronts, such as their typical weekly household incomes and unemployment rates. However, the gap in walkability is stark, with Cobar being somewhat walkable and Remainder of State/Territory (NSW) remaining car-dependent. This is consistent with the fact that 71.9% of Cobar homes are within a 15-minute walk of health services, compared to just 1.2% in Remainder of State/Territory (NSW).
