Elizabeth Elizabeth East

Elizabeth East and Elizabeth are neighbouring areas with very different layouts and levels of activity. Elizabeth is a walker's paradise with 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school and far more health services and public transport than its neighbour. It also has far higher rates of recorded offences, particularly theft. In contrast, Elizabeth East has more larger homes, with 78% having three or more bedrooms, and a higher proportion of older residents at 19.8%.

These two places are almost identical in many ways, sharing the same typical resident age of 38 and very similar typical weekly household incomes of around $900. They also have the same share of First Nations people. This common ground exists alongside significant gaps in education and language, as Elizabeth has a far higher share of First Nations people finishing Year 12 and more residents who speak a language other than English.
