Molong Cudal

Molong and Cudal (L) are nearby New South Wales towns with distinct profiles. Molong is more walkable and provides better local access, with health services and groceries within a 15-minute walk for most homes, while Cudal (L) has no such access for any home. Molong also has a higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents (9.3% compared to 3.5%) and more people who have finished Year 12 (36.1% compared to 25.5%).

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in different directions across several measures. The gap in school completion has widened, while the difference in the proportion of children under 15 has narrowed. Despite these shifts, the two towns remain very similar in their typical weekly household and personal incomes, as well as the number of people per home.
