Lyneham O'Connor

O'Connor (ACT) and Lyneham are neighbouring areas with similar population sizes, yet they differ in their housing and wealth. O'Connor (ACT) has a far higher share of separate houses (66.0% compared to 26.8% in Lyneham) and more homes with three or more bedrooms. It is also wealthier, with 40.7% of households earning $3,000 or more a week, far higher than the 28.8% in Lyneham. In contrast, Lyneham has a much larger presence of First Nations languages (10.1% versus 0.0%) and far more public transport departures per 1,000 people.

These differences in wealth and housing have become more pronounced over time, as the gaps for high incomes and large homes have both widened since 2011. Despite this, the two areas share many similarities, including a typical resident age of 35 and nearly identical unemployment rates. They also both have a very highly qualified workforce, with over half of adults in both areas holding a bachelor degree or higher, which is far above the national figure.
