Braddon O'Connor

Braddon and O'Connor (ACT) are neighbouring areas with very different housing and lifestyles. Braddon is a high-density hub where 80.7% of homes are flats or apartments and 60.4% are rented. It is a young, fast-growing place where 44.2% of people live alone and the typical resident is 30. O'Connor (ACT) is more suburban, with 66% of homes being separate houses and 31.2% owned outright. It has a larger presence of families, with 15.4% of people being children under 15, compared to just 5.3% in Braddon.

These two areas have seen their differences grow, particularly as the gap in the number of people living alone has widened since 2011. Despite this, they share a similar standing in terms of overall advantage, with both sitting well above the national figure. They also have almost identical proportions of people who speak little or no English and share the same high level of education and job skills.
