Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 2.3 km apart · Ainslie profile · Reid profile

Ainslie Reid

Ainslie and Reid are neighbouring areas in the Australian Capital Territory with very different housing and family profiles. Ainslie is more likely to have separate houses, with 72.5% of homes being detached compared to 36.2% in Reid. This is consistent with Ainslie having far more three-bedroom homes (73.8%) and a higher share of children under 15 (16.6% versus 8.2% in Reid). Consequently, unpaid childcare is far more common in Ainslie, where 26.2% of people provide this care, compared to 15.6% in Reid.

Since 2011, several gaps between the two have narrowed, including the share of renters and the number of people living alone. Both areas remain very similar in their levels of education, with about 54% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, and they both have typical weekly incomes around $2,300. While Reid has seen a much larger population growth since 2021, both areas sit near the national figure for overall advantage.
