Trafalgar vs Nilma

Urban Centre comparison ≈ 17 km apart · Trafalgar profile · Nilma profile

Trafalgar Nilma

Trafalgar and Nilma (L) are nearby Victorian areas with very different layouts. Trafalgar is a larger hub with a somewhat walkable environment, while Nilma (L) is a sparsely populated area that is car-dependent. A significant number of residents in Trafalgar are older, with 23.4% aged 65 and over compared to 10.9% in Nilma (L). Trafalgar also has far more renters (22.3% versus 6.3%) and a higher share of one-parent families (18.3% versus 5.6%). In contrast, Nilma (L) has a much higher proportion of recent overseas arrivals at 57.7%, while Trafalgar's figure is 13.3%.

Both areas are very similar in their typical weekly personal and household incomes, and they have nearly the same proportion of people who speak little or no English. Despite these similarities, the gaps in their social makeup have often grown since 2011. For example, the difference in the share of people with no religion has widened, and Trafalgar now has far more people who have moved into the area in the last five years than Nilma (L).
