Bowning Yass

Yass and Bowning are nearby New South Wales areas with very different layouts. Yass is a more developed hub where 23.5% of households rent and the walkability score is somewhat walkable. Bowning is much more car-dependent, with a higher share of separate houses (98.7%) and far fewer people renting (8.1%). Yass has much larger schools and more frequent public transport, while Bowning has a much higher number of schools per 1,000 children. Yass also has a larger First Nations population, though these residents are far younger than those in Bowning.

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, with almost identical typical weekly personal incomes of around $870 to $880 and an equal number of people per home. They also have a similar share of adults with a bachelor degree and very similar rates of people who have served in the Defence Force. While Yass has seen more people move in over the last five years, both areas remain older than the national figure.
