GROUP G Middle Australia Mixed family forms living on the outskirts of metropolitan areas Who We Are… Middle Australia contains a wide range of age groups, however all Types are family based, in a variety of different forms. While ages are mixed, people are younger than retirement age. Children can be very young up to adult age. Extended families occur at a rate of almost twice the national average and these households will typically contain adult children as well as their parents. Single parents and blended families are more common than the norm. While overall, this is a traditional Australian Group, there are pockets of cultural diversity within it. School is likely to have been finished prior to Year 12, although vocational qualifications have been gained since leaving school, enabling this Group to work in blue collar professions across a number of industries. Where We Live… Owing to their outer suburban and inner regional locations, households in Middle Australia are typically on a larger than average plot size. These three-bedroom, detached houses command low to average house prices and in the main, these houses are in the process of being purchased. The more regional location of these houses means that, for some, facilities can be hard to access, however most are within easy reach of trains and shopping centres for everyday needs. These locations mean that cars have to be relied upon, with two cars being the norm at these houses. Our Finances… Finances across the different Types within Middle Australia are varied, with some Types earning above the national average and some below it. Credit risk is also mixed. However, as a whole, the Group is typified by its choice to live in more affordable, loan-financed properties. Housing costs are made more manageable when both parents are earning, however in families with young children, often one parent stays home which places extra demands on the weekly budget. Spending patterns for Middle Australia are no lower than average, with the exception being financial services, as this Group usually only have modest savings to invest. What We Do… Middle Australia lead family oriented lives. Watching commercial TV or listening to the radio are typical entertainments. With budgets focused on the mortgage, there is little left for cultural events or going out to cafes and restaurants; overseas holidays are also a rarity. Social activity revolves around the local pub or club. Middle Australia like to enter radio competitions, redeem discount coupons and buy lottery tickets from time to time. They are heavy readers of both solicited and unsolicited mail and community newspapers are preferred to the national titles.
