Charnwood Fraser

Charnwood and Fraser are neighbouring areas in the ACT with very different profiles. Fraser has a more qualified and wealthier population, with 33.1% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 21.5% in Charnwood. This is reflected in household incomes, as 41.2% of Fraser homes earn $3,000 or more a week, while that figure is 19.0% in Charnwood. However, Charnwood is far more walkable; it is described as very walkable, with 78.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, compared to just 19.3% in Fraser, which is only somewhat walkable.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in some ways while closing the gap in others. The difference in home ownership and income has widened, and residents in Fraser are now noticeably older than those in Charnwood. At the same time, the gap in school and university completion has narrowed. Both areas remain similar in their unemployment rates and the amount of time it takes to travel to the city, which is about 17 minutes by car.
