Belconnen vs Florey

Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 1.8 km apart · Belconnen profile · Florey profile

Belconnen Florey

Belconnen and Florey are neighbouring areas with very different housing and lifestyles. Belconnen is much younger, with a typical resident aged 30 compared to 39 in Florey. It is also more diverse and mobile; 50.4% of residents were born overseas and 73% moved there in the last five years, while those figures are 31.8% and 34.8% in Florey. Belconnen's landscape is dominated by apartments and rentals, whereas Florey has far more separate houses and homes owned outright. Florey is more focused on families, with a much higher share of homes having three or more bedrooms and far more people caring for children unpaid.

Daily life in both places shares several similarities, including a typical weekly personal income of around $1,000 and nearly identical rates of mental health conditions. They also have an equal number of public transport stops and similar shares of First Nations residents. However, the gaps between them are often widening. Since 2011, the difference in typical age has grown, and the gap in overseas births and university qualifications has also increased.
