Farrer Phillip

Phillip and Farrer are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Phillip is a young, multicultural hub where the typical resident is 32 and a large 43.8% were born overseas. It is an area of apartments and renters, with 49.4% of homes rented and many more people living alone. In contrast, Farrer is much older, with a typical age of 43 and 23.7% of people aged 65 and over. Farrer is dominated by family-sized separate houses, with 80% of homes having three or more bedrooms and a far higher share of people caring for children unpaid (30.2%).

Everyday life in both places shares some common ground, as both have exactly the same average maximum and minimum temperatures and every home in both areas is within a 15-minute walk of a park. These similarities exist while other gaps move apart; for example, the difference in the proportion of people born overseas and those using another language at home has widened since 2011. While Farrer has a higher share of high-earning households, Phillip has seen much faster recent growth, with its population rising by 37.3% since 2021.
