Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 2.7 km apart · Bonython profile · Oxley profile

Bonython Oxley

Bonython and Oxley (ACT) are neighbouring areas with very different living patterns. Bonython is much more walkable, with 96.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 62% within a 15-minute-city walkshed. In contrast, Oxley (ACT) is dominated by separate houses, which make up 91.4% of homes, compared to 59.3% in Bonython. Bonython also has a more diverse population, with a well higher share of people born overseas (24.5%) and those using a language other than English at home (21.5%).

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in different directions across several measures. The gap in Year 12 completion and the number of people living alone has widened, while the difference in the number of people moving into the area has narrowed. Despite these shifts, the two places remain very similar in other ways. They have almost identical typical household incomes and similar proportions of adults with a bachelor degree or higher, both sitting around 30%.
