Tiwi Wulagi

Tiwi and Wulagi are neighbouring areas with very similar populations, but they differ in their housing and demographics. Wulagi is a family-oriented area where 25.3% of residents are children under 15 and detached houses are very common at 98.3%. In contrast, Tiwi has a noticeably older typical age of 40 compared to 36 in Wulagi, and it has far more flats or apartments. Tiwi also has a higher proportion of people living alone (27.6% versus 13.4%) and more adults with a bachelor degree or higher (30.4% versus 21.2%).

Everyday life is similar in both places, with nearly identical typical weekly family incomes of around $2,400 and the same typical monthly mortgage payments. While both areas are about the same in overall advantage, some gaps are shifting. The difference in the number of people born overseas has narrowed since 2011, while the gap in the number of children under 15 and people in de facto relationships has widened.
