Latham Page

Latham and Page are neighbouring areas in the Australian Capital Territory with different residential profiles. Latham has more family-oriented housing, with 88.2% of homes having three or more bedrooms and a higher share of separate houses. It also has a larger proportion of children under 15 (20.8%) and more people caring for children unpaid (34.0%). In contrast, Page has a much older population, with 26.1% aged 65 and over, and a higher proportion of people living alone (35.0%). Page is also more diverse, with 30.9% of residents born overseas.

These two areas have tracked in different directions regarding crime since 2011, as the gap between them has widened. While both saw a drop in recorded offences, the crime rate in Latham fell far more sharply than in Page. Despite this, the two areas share many similarities, including almost identical unemployment rates and the same typical monthly home-loan payment of $2,000. Both areas are also well above the national figure for adults with a bachelor degree or higher.
