Young - Yass Dubbo

Dubbo and Young - Yass are two distinct regional hubs in New South Wales. Dubbo is a more diverse and accessible center, with a far higher share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (16.1% compared to 4.2% in Young - Yass) and many more recent arrivals from overseas (21.3% versus 7.7%). It also offers much better connectivity, with 62.2% of homes within a 10 minute walk of public transport, compared to just 22.7% in Young - Yass.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several key ways. The gap in typical age has widened, with residents now noticeably older in Young - Yass by six years. Similarly, the difference in housing and income has grown, as Young - Yass has seen more homes owned outright and a higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week. Despite these shifts, they remain alike in some fundamental ways, with nearly identical typical weekly incomes and the same average of 2.5 people per home.
