Charnwood Dunlop

Dunlop and Charnwood are neighbouring areas with very different economic and structural profiles. Dunlop is a wealthier area where the typical household earns $2,503 a week, and 36.6% of homes earn $3,000 or more. In contrast, Charnwood is more affordable, with a typical weekly income of $1,818 and a much higher share of renters at 31.3%. Charnwood is also far more accessible for pedestrians; it is very walkable and 100% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school, while only 22.7% of homes in Dunlop have that same access.

Daily life in both places shares many common threads, including a similar proportion of people born overseas and nearly identical commute times to the city. However, the economic gap between them has shifted over time, with the difference in high-income households widening since 2011. While the gap in Year 12 completion rates has narrowed, Dunlop remains far higher in this area. Both neighbourhoods are younger than the national figure, though Charnwood has a slightly higher share of residents aged 65 and over.
