Cardigan Village Linton

Cardigan Village and Linton are two different types of rural communities. Cardigan Village is a younger area where the typical resident is 32, and children under 15 make up 32% of the population. It is also wealthier, with a typical household income of $2,200 a week, compared to $1,117 in Linton. In contrast, Linton has a much older population, with the typical resident aged 47 and 28.1% of people aged 65 and over. Many more people in Linton live alone (35.3%) and a higher share own their homes outright (44.4%).

The gap in typical ages has widened to 15 years since 2011. Despite this, both areas are mostly car-dependent and have the same typical weekly rent of $300. They also share similar rates of volunteering and an almost identical proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. While Cardigan Village has a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals, both areas have a population that is smaller than the national figure.
