Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 2.1 km apart · Ainslie profile · Downer profile

Ainslie Downer

Ainslie and Downer are neighbouring areas with different demographic profiles. Ainslie is noticeably older, with a typical resident aged 42 and 20% of the population aged 65 and over. In contrast, Downer is younger, with a typical age of 35, and is more transient, as 49.3% of residents moved in the last five years compared to 38.4% in Ainslie. Downer is also more linguistically diverse, with 23.4% of people using a language other than English at home, which is far higher than the 12.6% in Ainslie.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of the population that is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. Beyond this, they share several traits, including an identical unemployment rate of 4.0% and a similar number of people per home. While they are alike in these respects, other gaps have grown over time; the difference in typical age has widened to seven years, and the gap in the share of overseas-born residents has increased since 2011.
