Dorrigo Repton

Dorrigo and Repton (L) are two nearby New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Dorrigo is a somewhat walkable hub where many people are older, with a typical age of 57 and 36.2% aged 65 or over. In contrast, Repton (L) is a car-dependent area with a typical age of 49 and much higher levels of tertiary education, where 28.8% of adults hold a bachelor degree. This gap in qualifications is reflected in earnings; the typical weekly household income in Repton (L) is $1,480, which is far higher than the $893 seen in Dorrigo.

Both areas have almost the same share of people born overseas, at around 11% to 12%. While they share this commonality, many other gaps have widened since 2011. The difference in typical age has grown from one year to eight years, and the gap in weekly household income has increased to $587. Dorrigo continues to have a much higher share of people living alone (40.5% compared to 21.2%) and far more people who are retired or not working than Repton (L).
