Forde Jacka

Forde and Jacka are neighbouring areas in the Australian Capital Territory with very different profiles. Forde is a wealthier area where the typical weekly household income is $3,553 and 58.9% of homes earn $3,000 or more. It has a higher share of separate houses (84.7%) and larger homes, with 92.0% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Jacka has a much more diverse population, with 45.1% born overseas and 50.6% using a language other than English at home. Jacka also has a higher rental rate of 34.2%, compared to 22.8% in Forde.

Both areas have unemployment rates that sit close to the national figure, and they share a similar level of mobility with about 41% of residents moving in the last five years. While they both have high proportions of children and young residents, the gap between them is shifting; the difference in the share of overseas-born residents and those using other languages has widened since 2016. This reflects a growing contrast in the cultural and financial makeup of these two adjacent places.
