Kettering also has more residents with a bachelor degree or higher (30.1%) and a higher proportion of homes owned outright (51.5%).
These two areas share a very similar housing and income profile, with both being dominated by detached houses and having typical weekly household incomes around $1,400. While they are alike in these ways, they are diverging in other areas. For example, the gap in education has remained significant, with Year 12 completion far higher in Kettering.
