Family & Households in Phillip
How families and households are made up across the area.
A huge gap exists between Phillip and the rest of the territory, with 44.3% of households consisting of just one person. This makes it an area where people are far more likely to live alone than in most other parts of Australia. Consequently, the typical home here is much smaller than the national average.
