Lord Howe Island
16 km²
High personal incomes for First Nations residents mark the community of Lord Howe Island. This small, remote island in New South Wales is a place where most homes are within a short walk of groceries and parks. While the population is tiny, it maintains a distinct profile with very young First Nations residents. The island is largely walkable, though it lacks the public transport links found on the mainland.
