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

These two far-apart areas differ sharply in their cultural and social makeup. Remainder of State/Territory is much more diverse, with 43.0% of people born overseas and 28.3% using a language other than English at home, compared to 18.2% and 6.6% in 5,000 to 9,999. In contrast, 5,000 to 9,999 has a much higher share of people who claim no religion (52.6% versus 26.8%) and more adults working or looking for work (58.4% versus 39.6%). The two areas also differ in their layout; 5,000 to 9,999 is mostly car-dependent but has far more street intersections and a higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of schools and public transport. Remainder of State/Territory is described as car-dependent and has almost no homes near transport or schools.

Since 2011, the gaps across many of these measures have shifted. The difference in the share of people born overseas and those who finished Year 12 has narrowed, while the gap in religious non-affiliation has widened. Both areas are similar in some ways, such as having roughly the same number of people per home and very similar unemployment rates. They also share a similar proportion of people who work from home.
