Giralang McKellar

Giralang and McKellar are neighbouring areas in the Australian Capital Territory with some distinct differences in their populations and layout. Giralang has a younger feel, with 20.9% of residents being children under 15 and a far higher share of people with no religion (48.3%). It is also more walkable for shopping, with 95.3% of homes within a 15 minute walk of groceries. In contrast, McKellar is older, with a typical resident aged 43, and has a higher proportion of people born overseas (29.9%). While Giralang is better for shops, McKellar is far better for health services, with 49.4% of homes within a 15 minute walk of a clinic.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted apart in several ways. The gaps have widened for the age of residents, the number of children, and the proportion of people born overseas. Despite these shifts, they remain very similar in other ways, such as having the same typical weekly home-loan payment of $2,167 and the same average number of people per home (2.7).
