Banks Richardson

Banks and Richardson are neighbouring areas in the Australian Capital Territory with very different profiles of wealth and convenience. Banks is the more affluent of the two, with a higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (34.9% compared to 26.3%) and a much larger proportion of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries (90.1% versus 29.1%). In contrast, Richardson is far more dominated by separate houses, which make up 96.1% of its dwellings compared to 79.2% in Banks, and it provides much better access to schools and health services by foot.

The gap in household incomes has widened since 2011, but the two areas share a similar everyday rhythm. They are virtually identical in the number of people working from home, the proportion of people in de facto relationships, and the typical monthly home-loan payment of $2,000. Both areas also have a similar number of public transport stops, though Richardson has far more frequent departures and a higher number of people reachable by transit within 45 minutes.
