Young Grenfell

Young and Grenfell are regional New South Wales areas with distinct profiles. Young is the larger of the two and is more dynamic, with a typical resident aged 42 and a population where 18.1% are recent overseas arrivals. In contrast, Grenfell is much older, with a typical resident aged 52, and has a higher share of people who own their homes outright (51.6% compared to 38.2% in Young). While Young has far more school enrolments, Grenfell has a far higher number of schools per 1,000 children.

Everyday life shares many similarities across both places, such as an equal share of adults with a bachelor degree (11.3%) and almost identical rates of full-time employment. They also both have very low public transport use. However, some gaps are shifting; for example, the difference in the number of people working from home has narrowed since 2016, though it remains far higher in Grenfell. Meanwhile, the gap in recent overseas arrivals has widened, with Young now seeing far more new arrivals than Grenfell.
