Hawker Macquarie

Macquarie and Hawker are neighbouring areas in the Australian Capital Territory with very similar population sizes. Macquarie is much more transient and walkable, with 46.4% of people moving in during the last five years and nearly 99% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services. In contrast, Hawker is more established and affluent; it has a higher share of homeowners who own their place outright (44.6%) and a typical resident who is noticeably older at 42. First Nations residents in Hawker also tend to have far higher household incomes ($2,749) and higher Year 12 completion rates (84.4%) than those in Macquarie.

Both areas are almost identical in the proportion of children under 15, who make up 16.3% of the population in each. While they share this family profile, the gap in people moving into the areas has widened since 2011, with Macquarie becoming increasingly more mobile. Similarly, the difference in the share of residents aged 65 and over has grown over time, as Hawker has become well higher in this age group than Macquarie.
