Dunedoo Mendooran

Dunedoo (L) and Mendooran (L) are two nearby New South Wales towns with distinct differences in age and demographics. Residents are far older in Dunedoo (L), where the typical age is 54, compared to 46 in Mendooran (L). Dunedoo (L) has a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 25.0%, while Mendooran (L) has none. There are also notable differences in housing and work, with Dunedoo (L) having a far higher share of homes with three or more bedrooms (73.9% versus 61.7%) and more full-time employment (58.9% versus 47.2%).

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in opposite directions across several measures, with the gap in typical age widening and the lead flipping for typical family income and home ownership. Despite these shifts, they remain alike in some ways: both are very walkable and have similar typical weekly rents around $200. They also share similar proportions of people born overseas and a nearly identical share of detached houses, which make up over 95% of the homes in both places.
