Reid vs Barton

Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 3.1 km apart · Reid profile · Barton profile

Reid Barton

Barton and Reid are neighbouring areas with small populations, but they differ in how people live and work. Barton is more dominated by apartments, with 90.9% of homes being flats, while Reid has far more separate houses (36.2%). Barton is also more affluent, where 37.2% of people earn $2,000 or more a week compared to 25.7% in Reid. This is consistent with a larger share of Barton residents working in public administration and safety, and a higher proportion having a bachelor degree or higher (64.7% compared to 54.3% in Reid).

Both areas have similar proportions of children under 15, which sit close to the national figure. They share a high level of overall advantage and very similar typical family incomes. However, the gap in population growth since 2021 is wide, with Reid growing by 31.3% while Barton grew by 9.9%. Over time, the difference in the number of people moving into the areas has narrowed, and the gap in the number of residents with university degrees has also decreased since 2016.
