Kennedy Solomon

Kennedy and Solomon are far apart, with one in Queensland and the other in the Northern Territory. They differ sharply in their makeup and layout. Solomon is much more diverse, with 30.6% of people born overseas and 26.9% using another language at home, compared to 12.5% and 8.8% in Kennedy. Solomon also has a more highly qualified workforce, where 29.0% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, while only 11.2% do in Kennedy. Their housing styles are opposite; 87.8% of homes in Kennedy are separate houses, whereas Solomon has a much higher share of flats or apartments.

Both areas have a similar proportion of children under 15, at around 20%. However, they offer very different lifestyles. Solomon is very walkable and most residents live within a short walk of public transport, parks and groceries. Kennedy is mostly car-dependent and has far fewer transport stops and amenities. Since 2011, the gaps in overseas birth rates, language use and rental rates have all widened, showing these two places are moving further apart in their characteristics.
