Cosgrove Mount St John

Cosgrove and Mount St John are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Cosgrove is a young area where the typical resident is 27 and children under 15 make up 20% of the population. It has a higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (13.1%) and typical weekly household incomes are far higher at $1,976. In contrast, Mount St John is sparsely populated and significantly older, with a typical resident aged 42. It is a place where many more people have served in the Defence Force (57.3%) and 70% of people live alone in homes they own outright.

These two areas have tracked closely in some ways since 2011, remaining alike in their low shares of people who speak little or no English and similar levels of volunteering. However, they differ in their infrastructure; while Cosgrove has more separate houses and parks, Mount St John has far more public transport options. This is reflected in the housing, as Cosgrove has a much higher share of renters and larger homes, while Mount St John is mostly made up of smaller dwellings.
