La Perouse Phillip Bay

Phillip Bay and La Perouse are neighbouring areas with distinct profiles. La Perouse has a far higher proportion of First Nations residents at 32.2% compared to 13.9% in Phillip Bay. Phillip Bay is more diverse in other ways, with far more people born overseas (28.3% versus 18.0%) and a far higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (36.7% versus 21.6%). This higher income is consistent with a well-qualified workforce, as Phillip Bay has a well higher share of residents who completed Year 12.

These two areas have tracked closely since 2011 in several ways, such as their similar typical weekly incomes and share of adults with bachelor degrees. However, some gaps are widening, most notably in public transport access.
