Fyshwick vs Kingston

Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 1.8 km apart · Fyshwick profile · Kingston profile

Fyshwick Kingston

Kingston (ACT) and Fyshwick are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Kingston (ACT) is a well-off residential hub where 62.7% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher and the typical weekly household income is $2,469. In contrast, Fyshwick is sparsely populated and primarily industrial; only 7.5% of adults there have a university degree, and the typical weekly household income is much lower at $1,374. Kingston (ACT) also has a much higher share of people in de facto relationships (21.3%) compared to Fyshwick (0.0%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for people providing unpaid care, though this is a small part of a larger list of similarities. They share a short 7-minute drive to the city and are both highly walkable, with nearly all homes within a 15-minute walk of parks and groceries. While they are physically close, the gap in typical personal incomes has widened since 2016, and the difference in university qualifications has also grown.
