Dunkley Braddon

Braddon and Dunkley are distinct areas with very different scales and demographics. Braddon is a much older and more rural place, where the typical resident is 45 and 8.5% of people are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. In contrast, Dunkley is more urban and diverse, with 21.5% of people born overseas compared to 10.3% in Braddon. The financial gap is significant: the typical household in Dunkley earns $1,718 a week, while in Braddon it is $1,194. Dunkley also has far more people working from home (21.7% versus 6.3%) and much better access to amenities, with 82.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries compared to 50.6% in Braddon.

These differences have become more pronounced as the gap in typical household income has widened since 2011. Despite this, the two areas share several commonalities.
