Gregory Araluen

Gregory and Araluen are two very different regions. Araluen is a more urban environment with a far higher share of people born overseas (32.7% compared to 9.9% in Gregory) and those who use a language other than English at home (27.2% versus 4.9%). Araluen also has a more highly qualified workforce, with 30.2% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, while the figure in Gregory is 11.3%. In contrast, Gregory is more rural, with a much higher share of separate houses (87.1%) and far more homes with three or more bedrooms (77.6%).

Both areas share very similar unemployment rates, sitting around 3%, and have almost the same proportion of children under 15. While Araluen is somewhat walkable and Gregory is mostly car-dependent, they both have a similar number of people providing unpaid care. The gaps between them are generally widening; for example, the difference in typical weekly rent has grown to $180, and the divide in educational attainment has increased since 2011.
