O'Connor Solomon

O'Connor and Solomon are two very different places located nearly 1,900 km apart. O'Connor is an older area where the typical resident is 42, and a high 36.8% of homes are owned outright. In contrast, Solomon is much younger, with a typical age of 34, and it is far more diverse, with 30.6% of people born overseas and 26.9% using a language other than English at home. Solomon also has a more highly qualified workforce, with 29% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 12.6% in O'Connor.

Everyday life in both areas shares a similar unemployment rate, around 4%, and both have about the same share of people in de facto relationships. However, they differ greatly in how people get around. Solomon is very walkable and has far more public transport and shops within walking distance. O'Connor is mostly car-dependent, where detached houses are far more common. The gap between them has grown in several areas since 2011, including a widening difference in typical ages and the share of people born overseas.
