Matheson Yarrowford

Yarrowford and Matheson are both sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. They differ sharply in age and family structure; Yarrowford is far older, with a typical resident aged 51 and 26.4% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, Matheson is much younger, with a typical age of 39 and children under 15 making up 28.0% of the population. Income also varies, as the typical weekly household income in Matheson is well higher at $1,875, compared to $1,333 in Yarrowford.

Both areas share a very similar rural character, with the same typical personal income of around $816 to $866 and an identical number of people per home. This commonality extends to their lack of infrastructure, as neither area has a single public transport stop or a school within 3 km. While Yarrowford has a higher share of people with no religion and more residents born overseas, both areas remain far below the national figure for these measures.
