Fong Lim Johnston

Johnston and Fong Lim are neighbouring areas with similar population sizes, but they offer very different living environments. Johnston is very walkable, with nearly all homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and public transport. It has more separate houses (64.6%) and a higher share of children under 15 (19.9%). In contrast, Fong Lim is somewhat walkable and has a higher proportion of renters (55.3%) and flats or apartments. Residents in Fong Lim are more likely to have moved there in the last five years (60.0%) compared to Johnston (42.8%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for people with no religion. They are also alike in the share of people who volunteer and the typical number of people per bedroom. While they share these traits, some gaps are shifting; for instance, the difference in the share of renters has narrowed slightly since 2011. Johnston continues to have a higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents, which is well above the national figure.
