Yass Young Surrounds

Young Surrounds and Yass are two New South Wales areas with different characters. Yass is more urbanised, with a typical monthly mortgage payment of $1,773 and a walkability score of 4.9 (somewhat walkable). In contrast, Young Surrounds is more rural and car-dependent, with a walkability score of 2.4; however, it has a much higher share of homes owned outright at 47.7%. Yass also has a larger proportion of high earners, with 22.2% of households earning $3,000 or more a week, compared to 11.0% in Young Surrounds.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two places have shifted, with Yass seeing more growth in high incomes and Year 12 completions. They do share some common ground, such as having very similar proportions of First Nations people and almost identical unemployment rates. While Yass has more public transport and services within walking distance, both areas sit near the national figure for overall advantage.
