Moreover, Goulburnians earn $216 less a week than the average citizen and unemployment levels remain higher than in most of the state.

They’re some of the findings of data filed by the ABC’s electoral analyst, Antony Green, and published on The Sydney Morning Herald’s website.

The Herald’s interactive release pits each of 93 electorates against one another, measuring unemployment, accident and emergency waiting time, elective surgery delays, income and even public transport use.

While some of the numbers appear unflattering for Goulburn, there are positives.

Those who front accident and emergency at Goulburn Base Hospital can expect to be treated and released in 152 minutes – nearly an hour faster than the state average.

Goulburn Base Hospital emergency treatment times are faster than the major hospitals in all neighbouring electorates – with the exception of Bathurst.

Bathurst Hospital’s ability to treat accident and emergency patients in under 140 minutes on average is offset by a standard elective surgery waiting time of 333 days – among the highest in the state.

Goulburn Base Hospital emergency treatment times are superior to those at Cooma, Bowral, Cowra, Kiama and Wagga Wagga, Australian Bureau of Statistics numbers found.

While unemployment levels in Goulburn are marginally higher than the state average, they remain below six per cent.

Additionally, around 80 per cent of the electorate is educated up to at least a year 11 level, with one fifth of the population completing or undertaking tertiary level studies.

Goulburn fares on par with or better than all neighbouring electorates from Bathurst in the north, to Monaro in the south; from Cootamundra in the west to Wollondilly and Kiama in the east.

As expected, the demographics and lifestyles of those in regional electorates, like Goulburn, differ to those in metropolitan settings.

Around three-quarters of the population in the electorate held by Independent Alex Greenwich are aged between 25 and 64.

On average, those Sydneysiders can expect to earn $90,000 per annum. More than half are tertiary educated and 60 per cent born abroad.
