Yass Casey

Yass and Casey are nearby areas with very different profiles. Yass is a much older community where the typical resident is 42 and seniors aged 65 and over make up 21.5% of the population. In contrast, Casey is far younger, with a typical age of 32 and only 4.5% of people aged 65 or over. Casey also has a much more diverse and highly qualified population; 31.4% of residents were born overseas and 39.7% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 9.3% and 19.9% in Yass. This higher education level is consistent with the fact that people in Casey are far more likely to earn $2,000 or more a week.

Both areas share a very similar unemployment rate, which sits around 3% to 3.5%. They also both have a high proportion of three-bedroom homes and similar weather patterns. While the two areas are quite different, the age gap between them has narrowed slightly since 2016. However, other differences have grown over time, such as the gap in overseas births and the number of people using a language other than English at home.
