Swan Vincent

Swan and Vincent are nearby areas with very different lifestyles. Swan is a sprawling area where 88.8% of homes are separate houses, and 89.6% have three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Vincent is much more compact, with a walker's paradise score of 8.7 and nearly all homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services. This difference in layout is matched by a gap in qualifications and income; 46.2% of adults in Vincent hold a bachelor degree or higher, compared with 17.0% in Swan, while households earning $3,000 or more a week are far more common in Vincent at 33.7% versus 19.6% in Swan.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of people born overseas, at 33.6% in Swan and 32.9% in Vincent. They also share a similar proportion of residents aged 65 and over. However, other gaps have grown since 2011, such as the difference in rent rates and the share of university-qualified adults. The contrast in housing has also sharpened, with separate houses now far more common in Swan than in Vincent.
