Queanbeyan Surrounds Tuggeranong

Queanbeyan Surrounds and Tuggeranong are nearby but very different in scale and makeup. Queanbeyan Surrounds is a larger community where 19.4% of people are children and 24.2% of workers earn $2,000 or more a week. In contrast, Tuggeranong is sparsely populated with only 43 residents; it is a much older area where the typical resident is 58 and a quarter of the population is aged 65 or over.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011 in terms of their overall advantage and access to resources, which both rank very highly. They share a similar typical personal weekly income of around $1,200, and almost no one in either area uses public transport to commute. However, Tuggeranong's small population means it has a much higher share of people working from home, at 28.6%.
