Fairfield East Yennora

Fairfield East and Yennora are neighbouring areas with very different housing and demographic profiles. Yennora is notably older, with 26.3% of people aged 65 and over compared to 15.7% in Fairfield East, and a much higher share of people living alone (37.4% versus 21.2%). Fairfield East has more larger homes, with 69.6% having three or more bedrooms, and better access to essentials; for example, 60% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of health services compared to only 25.7% in Yennora.

These differences in living arrangements are widening, particularly for those without cars, as the gap in homes with no motor vehicle is now 16 percentage points higher in Yennora. Despite this, the two areas share a similar profile in other ways. They both have small First Nations populations and almost identical typical personal incomes, which sit well below the national figure. Both areas also have a very high proportion of people who use a language other than English at home.
