Casey Nicholls

Nicholls and Casey are neighbouring areas with very different age profiles and housing patterns. Residents are far older in Nicholls, where the typical age is 44 and 16.6% are seniors, compared to Casey where the typical age is just 32 and seniors make up only 4.5%. This age gap is reflected in the homes; Nicholls has a far higher share of outright home ownership (41.0% versus 11.5% in Casey) and more large houses, with 96.2% of homes having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Casey is much younger, with 25.9% of people being children under 15, which helps explain why 39.6% of residents there are unpaid carers for children.

Everyday life is similar in both places, as they share the same typical weekly rent of $502, a 16-minute drive to the city, and almost identical rates of university qualifications. However, some differences have become more pronounced since 2011. The age gap has widened, and the difference in home ownership has grown. Casey has also become more transient, with 49.8% of people moving in the last five years, while only 32.4% of Nicholls residents did the same.
