Stuart Araluen

Araluen and Stuart are very different places separated by over 700 kilometres. Araluen is a much younger area, with a typical resident aged 34, compared to 44 in Stuart. It is also more diverse and highly qualified, with 32.7% of people born overseas and 30.2% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher; in Stuart, these figures are much lower at 8.0% and 9.0%. This is reflected in incomes, where the typical household in Araluen earns $2,302 a week, far higher than the $1,081 typical for Stuart.

Both areas share a similar level of school advantage and a similar small number of residents who have served in the Defence Force. However, most other gaps have widened since 2011. This includes a growing difference in age, with residents far older in Stuart, and a widening income gap. While Araluen has seen a surge in people moving in and arriving from overseas, Stuart remains more stable and has a far higher share of homes owned outright.
