This is a transient area where 77.4% of people moved here in the last five years and nearly half (49.4%) rent their homes, mostly in flats or apartments. In contrast, Deakin is much older, with a typical resident aged 45 and 24.5% of the population aged 65 or over. It is a wealthier area where typical weekly family income is $4,211 and 44.2% of homes are owned outright, mostly as separate houses.

These two places have tracked in opposite directions since 2011, with many gaps widening over time.
