Lynchs Creek The Risk

Lynchs Creek and The Risk are two sparsely populated neighbouring areas in New South Wales. Lynchs Creek is more family-oriented and better qualified, with 28.3% of residents being children under 15 and 49.4% having completed Year 12. In contrast, The Risk has no children under 15 and a much lower Year 12 completion rate of 19.4%. The Risk is wealthier in terms of household income, with a typical weekly income of $1,812 compared to $1,228 in Lynchs Creek, and a much higher share of people earning $2,000 or more a week.
