5,000 to 9,999 Remainder of State/Territory

Remainder of State/Territory and 5,000 to 9,999 are two very different environments. Residents in Remainder of State/Territory are far older, with a typical age of 46 compared to 38 in 5,000 to 9,999. This older population is consistent with a more stable housing market, where 43.4% of homes are owned outright, whereas in 5,000 to 9,999, 33.3% of households rent. The two areas also differ greatly in accessibility; 5,000 to 9,999 is mostly car-dependent, while Remainder of State/Territory is car-dependent and has far fewer homes within a 15-minute walk of schools (8.2% vs 57.6%) or groceries (3.7% vs 52.3%).

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several key ways. The gap in typical age has widened to 8 years, and the difference in outright home ownership has grown to 13.5 percentage points. Despite these shifts, they remain very similar in other areas, such as typical weekly household incomes, which sit around $1,520 to $1,560. They also share similar levels of higher education, with about 13% of adults in both areas holding a bachelor degree or higher.
