Seville East
1 km²
Much younger than the national average, Seville East is a family-focused community where the typical resident is just 34. It has seen a dramatic shift since 2011, with a sharp rise in children and a significant drop in the number of seniors. This change is reflected in the housing, where large detached homes are the norm and households are typically larger than in most other areas. It is a predominantly Australian-born community that has become increasingly secular over the last decade.
