Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 2.4 km apart · Bonython profile · Monash profile

Bonython Monash

Monash and Bonython are neighbouring areas in the ACT with very different housing and accessibility profiles. Monash is much more likely to have separate houses, at 86.1% compared to 59.3% in Bonython. It is also an older community, where the typical resident is 43 and seniors make up 23.9% of the population. In contrast, Bonython is far more walkable; 96.5% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, compared to just 27.2% in Monash.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of one-parent families. They also share similar typical weekly household incomes, around $2,100 to $2,200. Over time, some of the differences between the two are fading, as the gap in the share of people who moved recently has narrowed since 2011.
