Gungahlin Jacka

Gungahlin and Jacka are neighbouring areas with very different layouts and lifestyles. Gungahlin is a walker's paradise where 100% of homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport, while Jacka is mostly car-dependent with only 39.8% of homes having that access. Gungahlin is also more transient and diverse, with far more recent overseas arrivals (28.5% versus 12.8%) and people who moved in the last five years (66.4% versus 41.6%). In contrast, Jacka has a much stronger focus on families, with 31.3% of residents being children under 15 and 43.5% of adults providing unpaid childcare.

Both areas are almost identical in their typical weekly household income, which sits around $2,200. They also share similar levels of education and a nearly identical typical weekly rent of $450. While they share these basics, the gap in their demographics is shifting; the difference in the number of children and people with no religion has both widened since 2016. Meanwhile, the gap in renting has narrowed, as Gungahlin remains far higher at 52.5% compared to 34.2% in Jacka.
