Wollongbar Caniaba

Wollongbar and Caniaba (L) are two nearby New South Wales areas with very different layouts and demographics. Wollongbar is a somewhat walkable area where 25.0% of homes are rented and people are noticeably older, with a typical age of 39. In contrast, Caniaba (L) is car-dependent and far more affluent; the typical household income is $2,611 a week, compared to $1,623 in Wollongbar. Caniaba (L) also has a much higher share of high earners, with 39.2% of households making $3,000 or more weekly, while only 16.3% do so in Wollongbar.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two places have shifted in several ways. The difference in household income and the share of people with no religion have both widened, but the gap in the number of children under 15 has narrowed. Despite these diverging trends, both areas have a similar Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population of around 5%. They also share a very low reliance on public transport for commuting, with both sitting well below the national figure.
