Hume Isaacs

Isaacs and Hume are neighbouring areas in the Australian Capital Territory with very different profiles. Isaacs is a well-off area where the typical weekly household income is $2,670, far higher than the $1,187 typical in Hume. Education levels are also much higher in Isaacs, where 50.2% of adults have a bachelor degree or higher compared to just 8.7% in Hume. While Isaacs has a much older population, with 27.6% aged 65 and over, Hume is notably younger and has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 25.3%.

These two places have seen the gap in typical household incomes widen significantly since 2011. They do share some basic characteristics, such as having almost identical annual rainfall and very similar drive times to the city. However, they differ in most other ways, from the typical rent in Isaacs being far higher at $520 a week to the fact that Isaacs has far more people born overseas.
