Warialda Ashford

Warialda and Ashford (L) are two small New South Wales towns about 56 km apart. The most striking difference is that the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population is far higher in Ashford (L) at 26.1%, compared to 9.1% in Warialda. Warialda has a much higher proportion of people working full-time (59.4% versus 40.0%) and is very walkable, while Ashford (L) is only somewhat walkable. Transport access also differs, with 40.0% of Warialda homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport, compared to none in Ashford (L).

Both towns have a similar share of residents aged 65 and over, sitting at around 33%, which is well above the national figure. They also share similar housing patterns, with about half of all homes in both areas owned outright. While the two places share many traits, some gaps are shifting; the difference in full-time employment and the share of children under 15 have both seen their leads flip since 2011.
