Ringwood Ringwood North

Ringwood and Ringwood North are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Ringwood is a more diverse and transient hub, where 35.3% of people were born overseas and 44.4% moved here in the last five years. It has a much higher proportion of renters (38.8%) and smaller homes, with many more people living alone. In contrast, Ringwood North is a wealthier residential area where the typical weekly household income is $2,330, compared to $1,660 in Ringwood. Homes there are significantly larger, with 91.5% having three or more bedrooms and 42.5% owned outright.

Daily life is quite similar in both areas, as they share nearly identical rates of university qualifications, similar unemployment levels, and a similar proportion of people with no religion. However, the gaps between them are shifting. Since 2011, Ringwood North has become even wealthier and its residents noticeably older, while the difference in the number of people born overseas and the share of renters has widened.
