Kerrie Romsey

Romsey and Kerrie are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Romsey is a larger hub where residents are much younger, with a typical age of 38 compared to 56 in Kerrie. This younger population helps explain why Romsey has many more children under 15 (20.6% versus 12.0%) and a far higher share of one-parent families. Romsey is also more walkable, with a score of 3.5 (mostly car-dependent), whereas Kerrie is car-dependent with a score of 0.3. Most residents in Romsey have a home loan, but in Kerrie, homes are far more likely to be owned outright (44.4%).

Similarities between the two include typical weekly personal incomes, which sit around $825 to $856. The gap in their housing markets is widening, seen in the typical monthly home-loan payment which is $2,072 far higher in Kerrie. Both areas also have very low rates of public transport use for commuting, and almost no residents in either area speak a language other than English at home.
