Bounded Locality Other Urban

Bounded Locality and Other Urban are two very different places located over 800km apart. Bounded Locality is an older area where the typical resident is 49 and 26.6% of people are seniors. In contrast, Other Urban is much younger with a typical age of 32. This younger profile in Other Urban is consistent with a far higher share of children under 15 (22.7% compared to 15.9%) and a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population (39.8% compared to 6.2%). Other Urban also has higher incomes, with a typical weekly household income of $1,986, which is far higher than the $1,144 seen in Bounded Locality.

Both areas are similar in how many residents can walk to nearby groceries or have a 15-minute-city walkshed. However, other gaps have widened since 2011. The difference in home ownership is now more stark, with homes owned outright being far higher in Bounded Locality (42.3% versus 11.9%). Meanwhile, the typical income gap has grown, and the share of people using a language other than English is now far higher in Other Urban than it was a decade ago.
