Hermitage Flat Marrangaroo

Marrangaroo and Hermitage Flat are neighbouring areas with very different social and economic profiles. Marrangaroo is a wealthier area where typical household incomes are far higher at $2,283 compared to $979 in Hermitage Flat. It also has a much larger First Nations population at 17.5%, compared to 1.9% in Hermitage Flat. The two areas differ in health and housing; Hermitage Flat has a far higher share of people with long-term health conditions (41.2% vs 17.6%) and a higher proportion of renters (24.7% vs 8.1%).

Both areas are very similar in that almost no one uses public transport to commute to work. They also share a similar proportion of people born overseas and almost identical school advantage scores. These similarities exist alongside stark differences in accessibility; while 99% of homes in Hermitage Flat have a 15-minute-city walkshed, no homes in Marrangaroo do. The gap in typical household income remains far higher in Marrangaroo, which is consistent with the higher mortgage payments found there.
