East Side Ross

East Side and Ross are nearby areas in the Northern Territory with very different profiles. East Side is a younger, more urban place where the typical resident is 33, compared to 42 in Ross. It has a far more qualified workforce, with 32.6% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 18.9% in Ross. East Side is also much more walkable, scoring 5.5 (somewhat walkable), while Ross is car-dependent with a score of 1.7. This difference is clear in daily access, as 86% of East Side homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school, while only 8.4% of homes in Ross are.

Everyday life in both places shares several common traits, including very similar typical weekly household incomes of around $2,000 and nearly identical shares of people living alone. While they share these basics, the gaps in other areas are shifting. The difference in typical age has widened since 2011, and the gap in university qualifications has also grown. However, the differences in home ownership and the proportion of recent overseas arrivals have both narrowed over the last decade.
