Labrador Southport - North

Labrador and Southport - North are neighbouring areas with very different populations. Residents in Labrador are far older, with a typical age of 45 compared to 35 in Southport - North. This age gap is reflected in the housing and health data; Labrador has a well higher share of people aged 65 and over (23.4%) and those with long-term health conditions (33.2%), while also having far more homes with three or more bedrooms (44.6%). In contrast, Southport - North is a younger hub with far more schools (10 compared to just 1 in Labrador) and a much higher proportion of renters at 68%.

These two areas are effectively alike in their typical weekly household incomes, which sit around $1,190. This shared economic profile exists alongside a growing divide in how people live. Since 2016, the gap in renting has widened, and the difference in typical age has increased from 7 to 10 years. While both areas have a higher share of overseas-born residents than the national figure, this is far more pronounced in Southport - North, where 39.2% of people were born overseas.
