Dickson Hackett

Dickson and Hackett are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Dickson is a younger, more transient hub where the typical resident is 30 and 70.8% of people moved in within the last five years. It is more diverse, with 25.4% of residents using a language other than English at home, and has a high density of flats and apartments. In contrast, Hackett is more established and family-oriented; residents are far older with a typical age of 40, and 76.2% of homes are separate houses. Hackett also has a much higher share of outright home ownership at 37.3% compared to 19.5% in Dickson.

Daily life in both places is similar in terms of the typical weekly income, which sits around $1,300 to $1,360. They also share the same high level of education and job skills. However, several gaps have widened since 2011, such as the difference in typical age and the share of people who own their homes outright. This trend is also seen in the housing stock, where the gap between the number of separate houses in Hackett and those in Dickson has grown significantly.
