Barwang Young

Young and Barwang are nearby New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Young is a larger hub where 18.4% of families are one-parent households and 34.1% of people have a long-term health condition. In contrast, Barwang is sparsely populated with a much wealthier population; the typical family earns $2,607 a week, which is $1,092 more than the $1,515 typical in Young. Barwang also has a higher share of university degrees and people working from home (41.4%), while Young has more people renting (29.5%) and a far higher share of those with no religion (26.6%).

Both areas have tracked in similar directions since 2011, though they remain distinct. They share a similar proportion of children under 15 and the same typical weekly rent of $250. While both are mostly car-dependent, Young provides much more convenience, with about half of its homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services, compared to none in Barwang.
