Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 6.3 km apart · Invermay profile · Riverside profile

Invermay Riverside

Riverside and Invermay are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Riverside is a more affluent suburb where 38% of homes are owned outright and 18.1% of households earn $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, Invermay is a high-density area where renting is common at 50.9% and only 7.6% of households reach that same income level. This contrast extends to the housing and landscape; Riverside is mostly separate houses (94.9%) with more large homes, while Invermay is a walker's paradise with far better access to health services and groceries within a 15-minute walk.

The gap in high-income households has widened since 2011, growing from 6.7% to 10.5%. However, other differences are shrinking, such as the share of recent overseas arrivals, which was 34.1% higher in Invermay in 2011 but is now 15% higher. Despite these shifts, the two areas share a similar typical weekly rent of around $290 to $300 and have almost identical rates of residents living with long-term health conditions.
