Yass Dunlop

Yass and Dunlop are nearby areas with similar total populations, but they have very different characters. Yass is much older, with 21.5% of people aged 65 and over compared to just 9.0% in Dunlop. Dunlop is more diverse and highly educated; 21.0% of its people were born overseas and 68.8% finished Year 12, while in Yass, those figures are 9.3% and 50.9% respectively. Dunlop also has a higher share of high-income households, with 36.6% earning $3,000 or more a week compared to 22.2% in Yass.

Everyday life is similar in both places in terms of the weather, the share of one-parent families, and the unemployment rate, which sits around 3% to 4% for both. While they are both considered somewhat walkable, the gaps between them are shifting. The difference in Year 12 completion has narrowed since 2016, and the gap in home ownership has also shrunk as more people in Dunlop own their homes outright.
