Empire Vale Pimlico

Pimlico and Empire Vale are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with distinct family and social profiles. Pimlico is a younger community where children under 15 make up 18.2% of the population, compared to just 8.1% in Empire Vale. This younger demographic is reflected in the home lives of residents; Pimlico has a far higher share of one-parent families (21.6% versus 8.5%) and more people caring for children unpaid. In contrast, Empire Vale is older, with a typical resident aged 48 and a well higher share of people aged 65 and over (23.2% compared to 17.6%).

Everyday life is quite similar in both places, as they share almost identical rates of adults working or looking for work and very similar typical weekly incomes. Both are largely car-dependent, with no residents commuting by public transport. While they share these commonalities, some gaps are wide; for instance, Pimlico has a far higher share of people with no religion (49.7% versus 37.8%) and a much higher proportion of homes with three or more bedrooms.
