Jagajaga Nicholls

Nicholls and Jagajaga are very different places, despite having similar total populations. Jagajaga is a very walkable area where 37.5% of adults have a bachelor degree or higher and 31.1% of households earn $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, Nicholls is more car-dependent, with only 12.9% of adults holding a bachelor degree and just 12.5% of households earning $3,000 or more a week. This gap in income is reflected in typical monthly home-loan payments, which are $2,167 in Jagajaga but much lower at $1,300 in Nicholls.

Both areas are remarkably similar in other ways, sharing almost identical unemployment rates and the same proportion of children under 15. While they are alike in these basics, the gap in education and income has widened since 2011. At the same time, the difference in the share of people born overseas has narrowed, although this figure remains far higher in Jagajaga at 23.3% compared to 12.6% in Nicholls.
