New Farm Spring Hill

New Farm and Spring Hill are neighbouring inner-city areas with very different populations. New Farm is much older, with a typical resident aged 39 and 17.6% of people aged 65 or over. It is also wealthier, where typical weekly personal incomes are $1,220 and 32.2% of households earn $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, Spring Hill is far younger and more diverse; the typical resident is just 31, and 48.7% of people were born overseas.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people who have completed Year 12. They also share similar typical weekly rents of around $400 and almost identical household sizes. However, the gap between them is widening in several ways.
