About
Wealth distribution in Australia, as in all countries, is not equal. This FACT indicates the percentage of households with a gross weekly income less than $650 in each Australian city; a wage that is difficult to live on, given the relatively high cost of living in Australia. Data collected in the 2016 ABS Census reveals that the percentage of households with a gross weekly income less than $650 across Australia is 20.0 percent. The city with the highest percentage is Hobart with 23.0 percent, followed closely by Adelaide at 22.6 percent. The city with the lowest is tied between Darwin at 10.3 percent.
