Richards Schofields

Schofields and Richards are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Schofields is a large, growing community where the typical resident is 32 and 28.2% of the population are children. It is highly diverse, with 51.7% of people born overseas and 55.4% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Richards is sparsely populated and far older, with a typical age of 52. It has a much higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 16.2%. Wealth is also much higher in Schofields, where the typical household earns $2,696 a week compared to $725 in Richards.

Both areas share a similar level of school advantage. While they differ in almost every other way, this common ground exists alongside a growing gap in how people live. For example, the rent gap is wide; typical weekly rent in Schofields is $540, while it is much lower in Richards at $210. This is consistent with the housing trends, as 100% of homes in Richards are rented, compared to only 31.4% in Schofields.
