Googong Yarrow

Googong and Yarrow are neighbouring areas in New South Wales, but they differ sharply in scale and demographics. Googong is a larger population centre where residents are noticeably younger, with a typical age of 32, while residents in the sparsely populated Yarrow are far older at 74. Incomes are also far higher in Googong, where the typical weekly household income is $3,371, compared to just $1,125 in Yarrow.
