Hughes Phillip

Phillip and Hughes are neighbouring areas in the Australian Capital Territory with very different characters. Phillip is a young and diverse hub where the typical resident is 32 and 43.8% were born overseas. It is dominated by apartments and renters, with 49.4% of households renting. In contrast, Hughes is much older, with a typical age of 43 and a far higher share of seniors (22.0%). It is a wealthier area where 45.5% of households earn $3,000 or more a week, and most people live in detached houses they own outright.

These two areas share a similar level of general advantage and a nearly identical typical weekly personal income. They also have the same high level of education and job skills. However, the gaps between them are often growing. Since 2011, the difference in typical age has widened, and the gap in home ownership and weekly household income has also increased.
