It also has a higher share of renters at 17.7% and more people living alone. Royalla is more rural and wealthier; its typical weekly household income is $3,655, which is well higher than the $2,588 seen in Theodore. Royalla also has a far higher share of high-earning households, with 56.4% earning $3,000 or more a week.

Everyday life in both places is similar in other ways, such as the share of people who have served in the Defence Force. They also have very similar proportions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. While both areas are’ wealthy compared to the national figure, the gap in household income is wide. This is consistent with the difference in housing, as Royalla has far more large homes with five or more bedrooms.
