Salisbury is more likely to have families, with 19.5% of people under 15, and a higher proportion of separate houses (83.8%) and larger homes with three or more bedrooms (85.2%). In contrast, Charles Sturt has a more qualified workforce, where 25.9% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher compared to 15.0% in Salisbury. This difference is reflected in typical weekly family incomes, which are well higher in Charles Sturt at $2,067 than in Salisbury's $1,591.

The gap in educational attainment has widened since 2011, with the difference in bachelor degrees growing from 7.1 to 10.8 percentage points. Despite this, the two areas are very similar in other ways, such as the share of people with no religion and the number of residents needing help with daily activities. They also both have a higher proportion of people born overseas than the national figure, though this is more pronounced in Salisbury, where 34.1% were born abroad.
