Gilgandra and Geurie (L) are two New South Wales areas with very different social and housing profiles. Gilgandra is much more diverse, with 25.3% of its people arriving from overseas recently, compared to none in Geurie (L). It also has a higher proportion of renters (33.1%) and one-parent families (30.5%). In contrast, Geurie (L) is dominated by larger homes, with 85.1% having three or more bedrooms, and a higher share of adults working or looking for work at 60.7%.

The gap in the number of children under 15 has widened since 2011, with Geurie (L) now sitting at 21.3% and Gilgandra at 17.8%. Despite this, both areas are considered somewhat walkable.
