Yawong Hills vs Yeungroon

Yeungroon and Yawong Hills are both sparsely populated, non-residential areas in regional Victoria. The two neighbours differ most in their demographics; residents in Yawong Hills are far older, with a typical age of 71 compared to 53 in Yeungroon. This age gap is reflected in the homes, where Yeungroon has far more people per home (2.9) and more people per bedroom (0.80) than Yawong Hills, where those figures are just 1.5 and 0.30. Weekly typical household income is also well higher in Yeungroon at $1,166, while it is $874 in Yawong Hills.

Both areas have tracked similarly in their lack of local services, as both are car-dependent and have no homes within a 15-minute walk of schools, groceries, or health services. Typical personal and family incomes are almost the same in both places, though the gap in typical household income has grown since the last census. This shows that while they share a similar rural character, the financial and age profiles of the few residents living there are moving further apart.
