Fannie Bay Sanderson

Sanderson and Fannie Bay are neighbouring areas with similar populations, but they differ in their housing and residents. Sanderson has many more detached houses (82.7% compared to 38.0%) and larger homes, with 82.0% having three or more bedrooms. Fannie Bay is more transient and academic, with 53.5% of people moving there in the last five years and a much higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (37.0% versus 22.4%). Fannie Bay also has a far higher share of renters at 53.4%, while Sanderson has more homes within a 15-minute walk of health services.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in some ways, such as the gap in university qualifications and the number of people with no religion. Despite these shifts, they remain very similar in other respects. Both have a typical resident age of 37, an almost identical typical weekly income of around $2,190, and nearly the same share of people born overseas. Both areas also sit well above the national figure for the proportion of their population identifying as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander.
