Yass Surrounds Macgregor

Yass Surrounds and Macgregor (ACT) are nearby areas with very different characters. Yass Surrounds is a car-dependent area where residents are far older, with a typical age of 43, and home ownership is common, as 36.9% of homes are owned outright. In contrast, Macgregor (ACT) is somewhat walkable and has a much younger population with a typical age of 34. It is also far more multicultural, with 26.4% of people born overseas and 24.5% using a language other than English at home, compared to 11.2% and 3.8% in Yass Surrounds.

The gap in the number of people born overseas has widened since 2016, but other differences are shifting.

They also share similar proportions of people needing help with daily activities and a similar level of overall advantage compared to the national figure.
