Dubbo Yeoval

Dubbo and Yeoval (L) are two very different New South Wales areas, separated by about 56 km. Dubbo is a large centre with a much younger population, where the typical resident is 35. It has higher levels of education and income, with the typical household earning $1,632 a week. In contrast, Yeoval (L) is a sparsely populated area where residents are far older, with a typical age of 53. Many more people in Yeoval (L) own their homes outright (46.1%) and struggle with health issues, as 45.2% have a long-term condition.

Both areas sit near the national figure for people who need help with daily activities, though this is far higher in Yeoval (L) than in Dubbo. While they share similar house sizes and both are described as somewhat walkable, they have moved further apart since 2011. The gaps in typical age and household income have both widened over time, and Dubbo has seen a much larger increase in recent overseas arrivals.
