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

These two far-apart areas differ sharply in their makeup. 10,000 to 19,999 has a much higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 12.6%, compared to just 0.7% in 4,999 or less. In contrast, 4,999 or less is far more linguistically diverse, with 48.8% of people using a language other than English at home and 31.8% born overseas, compared to 10.7% and 21.1% in 10,000 to 19,999. Housing also differs; 80.9% of homes in 10,000 to 19,999 are separate houses, while 4,999 or less has many more flats or apartments.

Everyday life shares some common ground, as both areas have almost identical typical family incomes and similar shares of renters. Both also have a similar number of people per home and nearly the same amount of people working from home. Over time, the gap in overseas births has narrowed, though the difference in the share of people who claim no religion has widened since 2011.
