Dunlop Macgregor

Dunlop and Macgregor (ACT) are neighbouring areas with similar population sizes, but they offer very different levels of local convenience. Dunlop is far more convenient for shopping, with 81.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, compared to just 18.7% in Macgregor (ACT). However, Macgregor (ACT) is much better for other services; 69.7% of its homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school, while only 22.7% are in Dunlop.
