Kowen vs Duntroon

Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 13 km apart · Kowen profile · Duntroon profile

Kowen Duntroon

Kowen and Duntroon are both small areas in the Australian Capital Territory, but they have very different populations. Kowen is sparsely populated with just 25 people, while Duntroon has 1,974 residents. Duntroon is a young, mobile place where 72.6% of people have served in the Defence Force, 79.9% moved here in the last five years, and the typical age is only 21. In contrast, Kowen is far older with a typical age of 36 and has a much higher share of people caring for children unpaid (27.3% compared to 6.1% in Duntroon).

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher. They also share similar typical weekly incomes of around $900 to $962. However, their environments differ sharply. Duntroon is somewhat walkable and has public transport within a 10-minute walk of every home. Kowen is car-dependent with no public transport stops and a much longer drive to the city. Over time, the gaps in typical age and the share of people born overseas have both widened.
