Bemboka Cobargo

Cobargo and Bemboka are two nearby New South Wales areas with small populations. Cobargo is more connected and accessible, with nearly all homes within a 15-minute walk of health services, compared to none in Bemboka. There are also clear differences in social outlook and housing; 55.4% of Cobargo residents have no religion, far higher than the 37.0% in Bemboka. Cobargo also has a higher share of renters at 25.7% and more people who have moved there in the last five years. In contrast, Bemboka has a higher proportion of full-time workers and a higher typical weekly household income of $1,156.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of people who have moved in the last five years, and they share very similar rates of unpaid care and long-term health conditions. While they have a lot in common, some gaps have shifted since 2011. The difference in school completion has flipped, with Cobargo now far higher in Year 12 completions. Similarly, the gap in full-time employment has widened, with Bemboka now far higher in this area.
