Belconnen Evatt

Belconnen and Evatt are neighbouring areas with very different living patterns. Belconnen is a high-density hub where 74.9% of homes are flats or apartments and 63.6% of households rent. It is a diverse area, with 50.4% of people born overseas and 46.3% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Evatt is dominated by family homes, with 96.7% of dwellings being separate houses and 20.5% of the population being children under 15. Evatt also has a higher share of wealthy households, with 35.9% earning $3,000 or more a week, compared to 16.7% in Belconnen.

Both areas sit near the national figure for overall advantage. They also share similar weather, a similar proportion of First Nations residents, and nearly the same number of public transport stops. However, the gap between them is widening in several areas. Since 2011, the difference in university qualifications and the number of people born overseas has grown, and Belconnen has seen a much higher increase in residents who have moved into the area recently.
