Mullumbimby Uki

Mullumbimby and Uki (L) are nearby New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Mullumbimby has a larger population and is more likely to be home to people born overseas (20.4%) or those who use another language at home (10.1%). It also has a higher share of people who finished Year 12 (57.9%) and those who report no religion (60.7%). In contrast, Uki (L) is sparsely populated and has a much higher rate of outright home ownership at 47.9%. Large homes are common there, with 89% having three or more bedrooms, and nearly all homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, and schools.

Both areas share a similar household density, with an average of 2.4 people per home. They also have nearly identical rates of one-parent families and a similar proportion of people who have moved in the last five years. While they share these residential patterns, some gaps are changing. The difference in the typical age of residents has narrowed to just four years, and the gap in the share of people aged 65 and over has also shrunk since 2011.
