Fong Lim Nelson

Nelson and Fong Lim are nearby areas with very different characters. Nelson is more likely to have detached houses, with 88.8% of homes being separate houses, and a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 17.6%. In contrast, Fong Lim is more urban and transient; 60% of its people moved in the last five years, and 55.3% of its homes are rented. Fong Lim also has a much more highly qualified workforce, with 34.5% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 12.4% in Nelson.

The gap in education levels has widened since 2011, but the two areas share several commonalities. Both have similar typical weekly household incomes, around $2,400, and nearly the same share of children under 15. While Fong Lim is somewhat walkable and Nelson is car-dependent, both areas sit slightly above the national figure for the share of people who identify as having no religion.
