Lynwood Rous Mill

Lynwood and Rous Mill are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with similar population sizes. Lynwood has a much higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (29.9%) and a far higher rate of volunteering (31.8%). In contrast, Rous Mill has more large homes, with 89% having three or more bedrooms, and a higher proportion of full-time employees (58%).

These two areas follow similar patterns in many ways, such as having no recent overseas arrivals and virtually no use of public transport. However, the gap in First Nations household income is quite large, with Rous Mill's typical income of $4,750 being far higher than the $2,250 seen in Lynwood. This is consistent with the two areas having very different First Nations age profiles, as the typical age in Lynwood is just 3, while in Rous Mill it is 18.
