Cavan Mullion

Mullion and Cavan (NSW) are both sparsely populated areas in the Yass Valley. Mullion has a larger population of 89 people compared to 37 in Cavan (NSW), and the two differ significantly in wealth and education. Mullion is far more likely to have residents who finished Year 12 (75.6% compared to 54.3%) and those earning $2,000 or more a week (28.7% compared to 8.1%).

Both areas are entirely car-dependent and have no public transport or walkable amenities. While they share these basic characteristics, the gap in typical age is widening, with residents now noticeably older in Mullion, where the typical age is 55 compared to 50 in Cavan (NSW).
