Casey Jacka

Casey and Jacka are neighbouring areas in the ACT with very different profiles. Casey is much wealthier, with 41.1% of households earning $3,000 or more a week compared to 23.6% in Jacka. This wealth is reflected in the housing; 75.6% of Casey's homes are separate houses and 81.5% have three or more bedrooms, while Jacka has far fewer detached homes and more townhouses. Casey also has much better access to daily needs, with 95.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, compared to just 39.8% in Jacka.

The gap in household income has widened since 2016, but the two areas share a similarly well-educated workforce, with around 40% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. Both areas are also home to many young families, as children under 15 make up over a quarter of the population in each. While Jacka has a much larger share of people born overseas and those using a language other than English at home, both areas sit well above the national figure for these measures.
