Gillen Kilgariff

Gillen and Kilgariff are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Gillen is a very walkable area where the typical resident is 33, and 56.7% of people have finished Year 12. In contrast, residents are far older in Kilgariff, with a typical age of 42 and a much higher share of seniors (32.1%). This age gap is consistent with health data, as people needing help with daily activities are far more common in Kilgariff (26.3% compared to 3.1% in Gillen). While Gillen is more affordable for high-earners, Kilgariff has a far higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week at 37.9%.

Everyday life in both places is similar in that they have almost the same number of people per home and nearly identical rates of unemployment. They also share a similar proportion of people who served in the Defence Force. However, their surroundings differ; Gillen is very walkable with easy access to shops and schools, while Kilgariff is car-dependent. This contrast in accessibility has remained stark as the two areas have tracked differently since 2011.
