Pimlico South Ballina

Pimlico and South Ballina are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different resident profiles. Pimlico is a more family-oriented place, where 18.2% of people are children under 15 and homes are larger, with 2.9 people per home on average. In contrast, South Ballina is sparsely populated and much older; the typical resident is 56, compared to 41 in Pimlico. This age gap is also seen among First Nations residents, who are far older in South Ballina. Health challenges are also more common in South Ballina, where 51.9% of people have a long-term health condition, compared to 29.6% in Pimlico.

Both areas are very similar when it comes to the cost of living, with typical weekly rents and personal incomes sitting at about the same level. They also share a lack of local accessibility, as neither area has homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, or schools. While they share these basic constraints, South Ballina has more street connectivity and a higher share of adults working or looking for work.
