Chilcotts Grass Rous Mill

Chilcotts Grass and Rous Mill are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with similar populations. Chilcotts Grass is wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $2,143 and 31% of homes earning $3,000 or more per week. In contrast, Rous Mill has more one-parent families (13.8% compared to 3.8%) and a higher share of renters at 19.2%. While Rous Mill is more home to young children and those working from home, Chilcotts Grass has more street intersections and a far higher average school size of 284.

Both have an almost identical share of people aged 65 and over and typical personal incomes around $820. In both places, no one uses public transport to commute and every home has a motor vehicle. This shared reliance on cars is consistent with their lack of public transport stops and limited walkable amenities.
