Eden-Monaro Bean

Eden-Monaro and Bean are two distinct regions with very different layouts. Bean is a very walkable area where 93.4% of homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport, while Eden-Monaro is mostly car-dependent and has far fewer transport stops and departures. Bean has a more qualified and wealthier population, with 35.8% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher and a typical household income of $2,322 a week. In contrast, Eden-Monaro is older, with a typical resident aged 43, and has a much lower proportion of people born overseas at 14.5%.

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to the share of households that rent, which sits at 23.0% for each. They also share similar unemployment rates and levels of people providing unpaid care. While the gap in typical incomes has narrowed since 2011, the difference in language diversity has widened, with the share of people using a language other than English at home now far higher in Bean.
