Ainslie Lyneham

Lyneham and Ainslie are neighbouring areas in the Australian Capital Territory with very different housing and population profiles. Lyneham is much more diverse, with 32.8% of people born overseas and 26.4% using a language other than English at home. It is also a more transient and younger place, where 56.2% of residents moved in the last five years and the typical age is 35. In contrast, Ainslie is older, with a typical age of 42, and is dominated by larger homes, as 73.8% of dwellings have three or more bedrooms compared to 44.7% in Lyneham.

The gap between them has widened since 2011, particularly regarding overseas births and the share of renters. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas remain similar in several ways; both have high levels of education, with around 54% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. They also share very similar typical weekly incomes of about $1,200 and a high overall advantage score that sits well above the national figure.
