Phillip Torrens

Phillip and Torrens are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Phillip is a high-density hub where 67% of homes are flats or apartments and 43.8% of people were born overseas. It has a highly mobile population, with 77.4% of residents moving in the last five years. In contrast, Torrens is dominated by separate houses (84.6%) and families, with 21.5% of people being children under 15. Torrens also has a higher share of wealthy households, with 42.9% earning $3,000 or more a week, compared to 23.6% in Phillip.

These two areas share a similar typical weekly income of around $1,300 and have almost identical proportions of First Nations people.

The difference in the number of people born overseas and those using another language at home has widened, as has the gap in home ownership and the number of people working or looking for work.
