Bean Fenner

Fenner and Bean are two large areas in the Australian Capital Territory with very different characters. Fenner is a more urban and diverse place, where 31.6% of people use a language other than English at home and 32.7% were born overseas. It is also much younger, with a typical resident aged 34, and has a shorter commute to the city of just 15 minutes. In contrast, Bean is more rural and older, with a typical age of 38 and a much longer typical drive to the city of 51 minutes. Residents in Bean are more likely to own their homes outright, with 30.7% doing so compared to 21.2% in Fenner.

These two areas share very similar levels of typical weekly household income, sitting around $2,300. They also have almost identical proportions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents and people who have served in the Defence Force. While they share these common traits, Fenner has seen more recent growth in its overseas population, with a higher share of recent arrivals and more people who have moved in the last five years.
