Banks Theodore

Banks and Theodore are neighbouring suburbs in the ACT with very different levels of convenience. Banks is somewhat walkable, with 90.1% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and far more public transport routes and stops. In contrast, Theodore is mostly car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and a much higher share of separate houses at 94.8% compared to 79.2% in Banks.

Both areas are very similar in that about 18% of their residents were born overseas. This commonality sits alongside a shared trend of high incomes, as both have a much higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week than the national figure. While they share many traits, the gap in housing types has widened since 2011, with Theodore becoming even more dominated by detached houses.
