Culcairn Holbrook

Holbrook and Culcairn are nearby towns in New South Wales with similar populations. Holbrook is noticeably older, with a typical resident aged 53 and 33.8% of people aged 65 and over, compared to a typical age of 46 and 27.7% seniors in Culcairn. This age difference is reflected in the home lives of residents; Culcairn has a much higher share of people caring for children unpaid (27.0% compared to 16.1% in Holbrook) and more children under 15 (18.3% versus 14.2%). Holbrook has a higher proportion of people living alone at 40.1% and more homes owned outright at 45.7%.

Both towns sit near the national figure for people providing unpaid care, though this is still well above the national average in Culcairn. They share very similar typical weekly personal incomes of around $575 and identical rates of people who have served in the Defence Force. While many of the gaps between them have flipped since 2011, the difference in how many people have moved into the area in the last five years has widened, with Culcairn now well higher at 38.2% compared to 32.1% in Holbrook.
