Yarralumla vs Curtin

Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 2.5 km apart · Yarralumla profile · Curtin profile

Yarralumla Curtin

Curtin and Yarralumla are neighbouring areas in the Australian Capital Territory with a few clear differences. Yarralumla is much older, with a typical resident aged 50 compared to 41 in Curtin, and a far higher share of seniors at 28.7%. There is also a notable gap in housing; detached houses are far more common in Curtin, where 83.8% of homes are separate houses compared to 65.1% in Yarralumla. Additionally, typical incomes for First Nations residents are far higher in Curtin, with a typical household earning $2,250 a week compared to $1,375 in Yarralumla.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several ways. The age gap has widened as Yarralumla's population has aged faster, and the difference in home ownership and mortgage payments has grown. Despite this, they remain very similar in many other respects. Both have the same 8-minute drive time to the city, identical top rankings for overall advantage, and almost the same share of people who are working full-time.
