4,999 or less 10,000 to 19,999

These two areas are located about 240 km apart and differ most in their demographics and accessibility. 4,999 or less has a noticeably older population, with a typical resident aged 46 and a high share of people aged 65 and over (26.0%). It also has a much higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 7.5%. In contrast, 10,000 to 19,999 is more accessible by foot, with 84.3% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport compared to 71.5% in 4,999 or less. There is also a larger gap in secularity, as 45.7% of residents in 10,000 to 19,999 have no religion, compared to 37.7% in 4,999 or less.

Since 2011, some of these differences have grown, such as the gap in typical age and the share of people born overseas. However, other trends are more stable, and the two areas share many similarities. They have very similar typical household incomes, around $1,300 a week, and nearly identical shares of children under 15. They also track closely on health, with about 35% of residents in both areas living with a long-term health condition.
