Gilmore Canberra

Gilmore and Canberra are two very different environments. Residents in Gilmore are far older, with a typical age of 49 compared to 35 in Canberra. This age gap is reflected in the population of seniors, who make up 28.7% of Gilmore but only 15% of Canberra. Canberra is much more diverse and highly qualified; 28.6% of its people were born overseas and 52.8% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, while in Gilmore these figures are 13.7% and 18% respectively. Incomes are also far higher in Canberra, where the typical household earns $2,419 a week, compared to $1,293 in Gilmore.

Both areas share a similar unemployment rate of around 4% to 4.5% and have the same typical number of people per home. These similarities exist despite a widening gap in how people live; for example, the difference in home ownership has grown, with homes now far more likely to be owned outright in Gilmore. Similarly, the gap in education and income has continued to grow since 2011, as Canberra has become increasingly distinct from the national figure in these areas.
