Lyons Phillip

Phillip and Lyons (ACT) are neighbouring areas with very different housing and social profiles. Phillip is a fast-growing hub where 67% of homes are flats or apartments, and a high 77.4% of residents have moved there in the last five years. It has a much younger population, with a typical age of 32, and a higher share of people born overseas (43.8%). In contrast, Lyons (ACT) is more established and residential, with 51.8% of homes being separate houses and a higher typical age of 36. Residents in Lyons (ACT) are more likely to own their homes outright, and 58.3% of dwellings have three or more bedrooms.

Both areas share a similar typical weekly household income of around $2,060 to $2,070 and have almost identical proportions of First Nations people. While Phillip has seen rapid growth since 2021, the gap in the typical age of residents has narrowed slightly since 2011. This trend of coming closer together is also seen in education, as the gap in the share of adults with a university degree has shrunk over the last decade.
