Federation Greater Hume Shire

Federation and Greater Hume Shire are two large regional areas in New South Wales. Federation is noticeably older, with a typical resident aged 51 and 30.4% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, Greater Hume Shire has a younger feel, with 20.2% of its population being children under 15. Greater Hume Shire also shows higher levels of advantage; it has more people with bachelor degrees (13.7% compared to 9.9% in Federation) and a larger share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (15.0% versus 9.5%).

Since 2011, the age gap between the two has widened, while the difference in high-income households has also grown. Despite this, they share many similarities, including almost identical rates of unemployment and the same typical monthly home-loan payment of $1,300. Federation is more walkable, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of a park (81.3% versus 56.7%) and better access to public transport stops.
