Tooraweenah Yarragrin

Tooraweenah and Yarragrin are two small New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Tooraweenah is a more qualified and higher-earning area, with 19.7% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher and 10.3% earning over $2,000 a week. It also has more amenities, with about 40% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school or groceries, making it mostly car-dependent. Yarragrin is much smaller and more sparsely populated, with a far higher share of seniors at 36.2% and a much larger First Nations population of 19.1%.

Everyday life in both places shares some similarities, such as a total lack of public transport and a similar proportion of adults working or looking for work. However, Yarragrin has seen a much larger shift toward remote work, with 65.2% of people working from home. This is far higher than the 32.8% seen in Tooraweenah.
