Firgrove Trangie

Trangie (L) and Firgrove (L) are two distinct New South Wales areas with very different social and economic profiles. Trangie (L) is a very walkable area where the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population is far higher at 28.4%, compared to 7.0% in Firgrove (L). It also has a much older population, with 29.7% aged 65 or over, compared to just 13.3% in Firgrove (L). Firgrove (L) is more affluent, with a typical household income of $2,446 per week, while the usual household earns $971 in Trangie (L). Education levels are also far higher in Firgrove (L), where 58.3% of residents completed Year 12, compared to 30.0% in Trangie (L).

Both areas have a similar share of children under 15, which sits around 20%, close to the national figure. While they share some common traits, such as very few residents born overseas, the gaps between them have widened significantly since 2011. This is seen in the typical household income and the proportion of people living alone, which is now 31.6 percentage points higher in Trangie (L). The two areas have also drifted apart in how they live; Firgrove (L) is now largely car-dependent, while Trangie (L) remains a place where most homes are within a short walk of shops, schools, and health services.
