Boambolo Yass

Yass is a larger hub where residents are more likely to be aged 65 and over (21.5%) and have a long-term health condition (37.1%). It is somewhat walkable, with many people living within a 15-minute walk of groceries (71.7%) or a park (78.3%). In contrast, Boambolo is a sparsely populated area that is car-dependent. It has a much higher share of people who completed Year 12 (65.4%) and people working from home (40.0%), while personal incomes are far higher, with a typical weekly pay of $1,399.

These two nearby areas have tracked similarly over time, with both seeing around 61% of adults working or looking for work. They are also similar in their typical weekly rents, which sit around $330 to $340. While Yass has more people born overseas and a larger First Nations population, both areas share a similar proportion of people who speak little or no English.
