Flynn Macgregor

Macgregor and Flynn are neighbouring residential areas in the Australian Capital Territory. Macgregor has a younger feel, with 24.3% of its people under 15 and a typical resident aged 34. It is also more diverse, with 26.4% of people born overseas and 24.5% using another language at home. Flynn is more affluent and established, with a much higher share of homes owned outright (34.1% compared to 20.7% in Macgregor) and 42.9% of households earning $3,000 or more a week. Flynn is also far more walkable; nearly 80% of its homes are within a 15-minute walk of amenities and groceries, while only 22.3% of homes in Macgregor share this access.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted apart in some key ways. The gap in household income and the share of people using other languages at home have both widened. However, they remain very similar in other respects, such as typical weekly personal incomes, which are almost identical at around $1,172. Both areas are heavily dominated by detached houses and have a high proportion of residents who completed Year 12.
