"The “latte line” is the infamous, invisible boundary that divides Sydney
between the more affluent north-east and the south-west. Historically, people
north of the line enjoy better access to jobs and education, and can capitalise
on rising property wealth. This has reinforced economic inequality.
Despite our image as a classless society, similar spatial divides have long
marked Australia’s other capital cities as well. So are things getting better
or worse?
We set out to answer this question by investigating neighbourhood population
changes across Australia’s five largest cities – Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane,
Adelaide and Perth. We used census data to track patterns of wealth and
disadvantage between 2011 and 2016. We looked at who moved in, out of or
remained in each location, and who goes to work where.
We found clear evidence of social exclusion at work. These capital cities are
becoming more segregated along socioeconomic lines. And the trend was worst in
Sydney."
