Carlton Fitzroy North

Carlton (Vic.) and Fitzroy North are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Carlton (Vic.) is a young, transient hub where the typical resident is just 27 and over half the population was born overseas. It has a high proportion of renters, with 72.3% of homes rented, and 48.6% of households have no car. In contrast, Fitzroy North is older and wealthier; the typical resident is 36 and typical weekly household incomes are far higher at $2,300, compared to $1,292 in Carlton (Vic.). Families are also more common in Fitzroy North, where 19.9% of people provide unpaid childcare.

Everyday life is very similar in both places, as all homes in both areas are within a 10-minute walk of public transport and a 15-minute walk of a park or school. While they share these urban comforts, the housing styles differ. Carlton (Vic.) is dominated by flats and apartments, whereas Fitzroy North has a much higher share of townhouses and separate houses. This contrast is reflected in the car ownership gap, which remains a striking difference between the two neighbours.
