Labrador Southport - South

Southport - South and Labrador are neighbouring areas with very similar population sizes. Southport - South is generally more advantaged, with a higher share of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher (26.1% compared to 18.4%) and more residents finishing Year 12 (63.2% versus 52.9%). It also has a much larger school presence, with 2,622 enrolments and an average school size of 1,311, which is far higher than the 670 enrolments and average size of 670 in Labrador. In contrast, Labrador is more car-dependent, with a higher share of homes within 15 minutes of groceries (99.6%) but far fewer homes near health services (59.2% compared to 88.3% in Southport - South).

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of people with no religion, at around 42%. They also share very similar proportions of children under 15 and a nearly identical typical weekly personal income. However, some gaps are growing; the age difference has widened, with Labrador now noticeably older, and the gap in high-income households earning over $3,000 a week has also increased since 2016.
