Beacon Hill Oxford Falls

Beacon Hill and Oxford Falls are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Beacon Hill is a larger community of families, where 20.2% of residents are children and typical household incomes are far higher at $2,937 per week. In contrast, Oxford Falls is sparsely populated and home to a much older population; the typical resident is 73, and seniors make up 58.1% of the area. This age gap is reflected in health, with 50.9% of Oxford Falls residents living with a long-term health condition, compared to 23.7% in Beacon Hill.

Both areas are similar in that they have very few Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents, each sitting around 0.6% or less, which is well below the national figure. However, they differ in almost every other way, from housing to transport. Beacon Hill is very walkable and dominated by separate houses, while Oxford Falls is mostly car-dependent and features more townhouses. These gaps have remained distinct, with Beacon Hill maintaining much higher levels of university qualifications and weekly incomes than its neighbour.
