Bargara Rubyanna

Bargara and Rubyanna are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Bargara is a larger, somewhat walkable hub where residents are far older, with a typical age of 54 and 35.0% aged 65 and over. It has a more diverse and highly educated population, with 19.0% born overseas and 20.5% of adults holding a bachelor degree. In contrast, Rubyanna is a sparsely populated, car-dependent area where homes are almost exclusively separate houses (100.0%), and many more adults are working or looking for work (67.5% compared to 47.0% in Bargara).

These two areas have tracked differently since 2011, most notably in how people move. Bargara has seen a much larger influx of new residents, with 49.3% moving in the last five years compared to 29.2% in Rubyanna. Despite these shifts, they share some similarities, such as having almost identical shares of people who speak little or no English (around 1%).
