Holt Lyons

Lyons and Holt are two very different places. Lyons is an older area where the typical resident is 44 and 21.9% of people are aged 65 and over. In contrast, Holt is much younger, with a typical age of 33. Diversity is also a major divider; 42.1% of Holt residents were born overseas and 42.1% use a language other than English at home, compared to just 9.8% and 3.4% in Lyons. Holt is more developed with larger schools, more people finishing Year 12, and a higher share of 4-bedroom homes.

Both areas have very similar unemployment rates, which sit around 5.4% to 5.7%. This shared stability exists alongside widening gaps in other areas. Since 2011, the age difference between the two has grown to 11 years, and the gap in overseas births has widened to 32 points. While residents in Lyons are more likely to own their homes outright and live alone, those in Holt have much better access to parks, shops and health services within a 15-minute walk.
