Wallerawang Cullen Bullen

Wallerawang and Cullen Bullen (L) are nearby New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Wallerawang is much younger and more active, with a typical resident aged 38 and 22% of the population being children under 15. In contrast, Cullen Bullen (L) is far older, with a typical age of 54 and far fewer children (10.3%). Economic gaps are also wide; typical weekly family income is far higher in Wallerawang at $1,938, compared to $1,166 in Cullen Bullen (L).

Since 2011, these two areas have drifted further apart across many measures.

Similarly, the income and age gaps have both grown over the last decade.
