Grey Solomon

Solomon and Grey are far apart and very different. Solomon is a much younger area, with a typical resident aged 34, while the typical resident in Grey is 45. Solomon is far more diverse and better qualified; 30.6% of people were born overseas and 29.0% of adults have a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, only 10.1% of Grey's residents were born overseas and 10.1% hold a degree. This is reflected in incomes, as the typical weekly household income in Solomon is $2,171, which is far higher than the $1,193 usually earned in Grey.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally widened. The difference in typical age has grown from 9 to 11 years, and the gap in the share of people born overseas has increased from 13.1 to 20.6 percentage points. Despite these shifting trends, the two areas remain similar in some ways, such as having almost the same share of one-parent families (around 15%) and a similar percentage of homes with no motor vehicle.
