A sparsely populated rural setting defines Kiacatoo, a small community of just 77 people in New South Wales. It is a remarkably young place, with the typical resident being only 31 and children under 15 making up 39% of the population. This family-heavy character is reflected in the high proportion of couples with children and the large number of people caring for kids unpaid. The community is almost entirely Australian-born and relies heavily on cars for every daily need.
