Leichhardt Solomon

Leichhardt in Queensland and Solomon in the Northern Territory are very different environments. Solomon is far more walkable, with 81.9% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed compared to 56.8% in Leichhardt. It also has a more highly qualified and higher earning population; 29.0% of adults in Solomon hold a bachelor degree or higher, while only 19.0% do in Leichhardt. In contrast, Leichhardt has a higher share of separate houses at 70.3% and a larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population, which is 16.3% compared to 10.1% in Solomon.

These gaps in education and income have generally widened since 2011, though the difference in typical weekly household income has narrowed slightly to $658. Despite these trends, the two areas share several traits, such as very similar proportions of people who have no religion (around 41%) and those who speak little or no English. They also have almost identical home sizes, with about two and a half people per home in both places.
