Dangar Island Patonga

Dangar Island and Patonga are two sparsely populated neighbours in New South Wales. Dangar Island has a much higher proportion of university-educated adults, with 53.2% holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 19.1% in Patonga. Incomes are also notably different; the typical weekly household income in Dangar Island is $1,857, which is far higher than the $1,109 seen in Patonga. While Dangar Island has more children, Patonga is far older, with 56.9% of its residents aged 65 and over.

Both areas are similarly somewhat walkable and share a few common traits, such as having an equal lack of residents who commute by public transport. However, several gaps have widened since 2011. The difference in typical ages has grown to 10 years, and the gap in home ownership has increased, with homes far more likely to be owned outright in Patonga. Dangar Island has also seen a sharp increase in people born overseas, which is now far higher than in Patonga.
