Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 1.8 km apart · Pearce profile · Phillip profile

Pearce Phillip

Phillip and Pearce are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Phillip is a young, diverse hub where the typical resident is 32 and 43.8% were born overseas. It is a high-density area where 67% of homes are flats or apartments and 49.4% of households rent. In contrast, Pearce is much older and more established, with a typical age of 43 and 20.9% of people aged 65 and over. It is dominated by family homes, with 63.2% being separate houses and 74.8% of homes having three or more bedrooms.

Since 2011, the gap between these two areas has generally widened, particularly regarding age, diversity, and home ownership. While they have tracked apart in these areas, they remain very similar in others; both have an equal share of First Nations residents and similar levels of overall advantage, sitting above the national figure. They also share the same annual rainfall and typical weekly rents, which are around $430 to $440.
