The Rock Yarragundry

The Rock and Yarragundry are nearby New South Wales areas with very different profiles. The Rock is a more established hub with a typical age of 42 and a much higher share of children under 15 (23.3%). It is also a more convenient place to live, described as somewhat walkable, where over half of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services. In contrast, Yarragundry is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with a much older typical resident aged 58. It is a wealthier area where typical weekly personal income is far higher at $1,156, compared to $636 in The Rock.

These two places share a very similar proportion of people born overseas, at around 4%. While Yarragundry has a much higher share of people with bachelor degrees (23.5%) and more homes owned outright (75.8%), both areas have similar typical weekly rents. The gap in home ownership is wide, but the two areas have tracked similarly in their small share of residents who speak little or no English.
