Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 1.7 km apart · Bonner profile · Forde profile

Bonner Forde

Bonner and Forde are neighbouring areas in the Australian Capital Territory. Bonner is more diverse and younger, with a typical resident aged 30 and 44.4% of people using a language other than English at home. Forde has a more affluent profile, where 58.9% of households earn $3,000 or more a week compared to 43.4% in Bonner. Forde also offers better access to local amenities, with more public transport stops and a higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of schools and groceries.

These differences in income and wealth have become more pronounced since 2011, as the gap between their typical weekly household incomes has widened to $742. Despite this, the two areas remain very similar in other ways. They have almost identical shares of people who need help with daily activities, those living alone, and the time it takes to commute to the city. Both areas also have a high proportion of overseas-born residents compared to the national figure.
