Hall Nicholls

Nicholls and Hall are neighbouring areas in the Australian Capital Territory. Nicholls is much larger and more diverse, with 29.3% of people born overseas and 24.8% using another language at home, compared to 13.4% and 5.4% in Hall. Hall is more elderly, with 27.2% of its population aged 65 and over, which is far higher than the 16.6% in Nicholls. Access to basics also differs sharply; for example, 78.2% of Nicholls homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while no homes in Hall have this access.

Everyday life in both places shares several commonalities, such as typical weekly family incomes that sit around $3,200 to $3,400. Both areas also have a similarly high level of education and job skills. While they share these traits, some gaps are widening. The difference in the share of people born overseas and those using other languages at home has grown since 2011. Similarly, the gap in the proportion of volunteers has increased, with Hall now seeing a higher share of its residents volunteering.
