Boambolo Murrumbateman

Murrumbateman and Boambolo are two different types of rural areas in the Yass Valley. Murrumbateman is a larger, more affluent hub where 53.5% of households earn $3,000 or more a week and 34.3% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. It is more diverse, with 14.0% of people born overseas, and has more infrastructure, such as public transport and shops within walking distance. In contrast, Boambolo is sparsely populated and more car-dependent, though a very high 40.0% of its residents work from home.
