Durack Solomon

Durack and Solomon are vastly different environments. Solomon is a very walkable area where 30.6% of people were born overseas and 29% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Durack is mostly car-dependent, with a much lower share of overseas-born residents (16.6%) and adults with degrees (12.4%). Housing also differs sharply; 85.1% of homes in Durack are separate houses, and 78.4% have three or more bedrooms, while typical weekly rent is much lower at $231 compared to $380 in Solomon.

Both areas share very similar profiles in several ways, including the share of children under 15 (around 20%) and the proportion of people earning $2,000 or more a week. However, the gaps between them are often growing. Since 2011, the difference in overseas births and the use of other languages at home have both widened. Similarly, the gap in Year 12 completion and typical weekly rents has increased over the last decade.
