The bar chart illustrates the distribution of four distinct income brackets across cities and regional centers in Australia.
Overall, what stands out from the graph is that the predominant segments are the lower-middle-income and middle-income groups, while the low and high-income brackets exhibit the lowest representation.
In cities, the middle-income bracket ranges from $70,000 to $120,000 annually, comprising 35% of the population, whereas in regional centers, it constitutes 25% of the population. Conversely, the proportion of individuals in the lower-middle income category in regional centers is approximately 34%, compared to less than 4% in cities.
Moreover, the lowest proportions are observed in the low and high-income brackets. In cities, the low-income bracket makes up a smaller portion of the population, accounting for only 13%. In contrast, the high-income group flourishes in urban areas, contributing roughly 20% of city dwellers. This trend reverses in the regional centers, where the low-income bracket surpasses 20% of the population. Here, the high-income group has the smallest presence, representing just 15% of the residents.
