Lismore Jordan

Lismore and Jordan are two very different areas. Lismore is a much older place, where the typical resident is 47 and 23.3% of people are aged 65 or over. In contrast, Jordan is far younger, with a typical age of 32 and only 7.1% of people aged 65 and over. Jordan is also much more diverse, with 28.9% of people born overseas and 19.7% using another language at home, compared to 10.7% and 4.6% in Lismore. Jordan has higher incomes, with a typical weekly household pay of $2,244, which is far higher than the $1,202 usual in Lismore.

These two areas have moved in opposite directions since 2011. The age gap has widened significantly, and the lead in overseas births and language diversity has flipped to favour Jordan. Both areas remain mostly car-dependent, and they share very similar rates of unemployment and a similar share of people who identify with no religion. While Lismore has more people living alone and a far higher share of homes owned outright, Jordan has seen a much larger increase in families with children and people working or looking for work.
