Eden-Monaro Fenner

Eden-Monaro and Fenner are two very different regions. Eden-Monaro is an older area where the typical resident is 43, and 20.4% of people are aged 65 and over. It is mostly car-dependent and more traditional, with 38.2% of homes owned outright. In contrast, Fenner is much younger, with a typical age of 34, and far more diverse; 32.7% of people were born overseas and 31.6% use a language other than English at home. Fenner also has a more highly qualified workforce, with 39.7% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher.

Everyday life shares some similarities in both places, such as the share of people with no religion being around 40% and very similar rates of unemployment. However, their infrastructure differs wildly. Fenner is very walkable with frequent public transport, while Eden-Monaro is mostly car-dependent, with residents typically walking 23 minutes to the nearest stop. This gap in accessibility and the difference in home ownership and ages have remained distinct across these two regions.
