Maimuru Young
Young and Maimuru are nearby areas in New South Wales, though they differ sharply in size and layout. Young is a larger hub where the typical resident is more likely to rent, and 22.8% of the population is aged 65 or over. It is far more walkable, with about half of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services, and a walkability score of 3.8 (mostly car-dependent). In contrast, Maimuru is a sparsely populated area that is car-dependent, where 98.3% of homes are separate houses and the typical First Nations resident is far older at 64.
Both areas are almost identical in their share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher, which sits at 11.0% for both. They also share similar proportions of people who use another language at home and those with no religion. While Young has a much higher number of people who moved there in the last five years, Maimuru has a higher share of adults working or looking for work.
