Cooper Jagajaga

Jagajaga and Cooper are two nearby Victorian areas with very different housing and social profiles. Jagajaga is dominated by larger separate houses, with 78.6% of homes being detached and 78.3% having three or more bedrooms. Residents are noticeably older, with a typical age of 41 and a higher share of people aged 65 and over (18.6%). In contrast, Cooper has a much higher proportion of renters (38.0%) and people using another language at home (31.9%). It is also more compact, with a higher density of street intersections and more people born overseas (31.1%).

Since 2011, these two areas have tracked in different directions, with the gap in housing types widening and the difference in language diversity narrowing. Despite these shifting trends, they remain very similar in some ways. Both have roughly the same share of people with no religion, almost identical weekly rents around $400, and similar levels of full-time employment. They also both provide nearly universal access to parks within a 15-minute walk.
