Bonalbo Fairy Hill

Fairy Hill and Bonalbo are two small, sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. Fairy Hill is a family-oriented place where 19.9% of residents are children and the typical weekly household income is $1,298. In contrast, Bonalbo has a much older population, with a typical age of 60, and typical weekly incomes are far lower at $589. Housing differs sharply as well; 97.2% of homes in Fairy Hill have three or more bedrooms, while only 54.1% of Bonalbo homes do. Bonalbo is very walkable with a score of 6.2, whereas Fairy Hill is car-dependent with a score of 1.1.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have widened across almost every measure. The difference in typical age has grown from 3 years to 13 years, and the income gap has increased from $192 to $709.
