Duntroon vs Kingston

Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 2.6 km apart · Duntroon profile · Kingston profile

Duntroon Kingston

Kingston (ACT) and Duntroon are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Kingston (ACT) is a high-income hub where typical weekly pay is $1,777 and 62.7% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. It is a walker's paradise, with every home within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Duntroon is far younger, with a typical age of 21, and is defined by its connection to the military; 72.6% of residents have served in the Defence Force. While Kingston (ACT) is dominated by flats and apartments, 95.1% of homes in Duntroon are separate houses.

Both areas share a very high overall advantage score and an identical 7-minute drive time to the city. They also have nearly the same proportion of First Nations people and similar levels of English proficiency. Despite these commonalities, the gaps between them are widening in several areas. The difference in typical personal income has grown to $815, and the gap in university qualifications has increased since 2016.
