Skillion Flat Yarravel

Yarravel and Skillion Flat are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Yarravel is larger and more developed, with 91.6% of homes having three or more bedrooms and a higher share of full-time workers (55.6%). Skillion Flat is sparsely populated and more likely to have people in de facto relationships (27.9% compared to 12.3% in Yarravel). Health and age also vary, as Yarravel has a much higher rate of long-term health conditions (38.7% versus 23.7%) and a significantly older First Nations population, with a typical age of 22 compared to just 8 in Skillion Flat.

These two areas both rely heavily on cars, with walkability scores showing they are both car-dependent. They share similar household sizes, with about 2.7 people per home.
