Narrabundah Barton

Narrabundah and Barton are neighbouring areas with very different housing and household styles. Narrabundah is more family-oriented, with 17.7% of people under 15 and a much higher share of separate houses (68.2%). In contrast, Barton is dominated by flats and apartments (90.9%) and has a far higher proportion of people living alone (46.3%). Barton also has a more highly qualified workforce, with 64.7% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 48.0% in Narrabundah.

Since 2011, these two areas have seen some gaps close while others have grown. The difference in university qualifications and the share of people who moved recently have both narrowed. However, the gap in the number of people living alone and those caring for children unpaid has widened. Despite these shifts, the two areas remain very similar in other ways, such as their typical weekly household incomes, which are both around $2,400.
