Bonython ACT - South West

ACT - South West and Bonython are nearby areas in the Australian Capital Territory with very different layouts. ACT - South West is a sparsely populated area where every home is a separate house and a huge 48.5% of households earn $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, Bonython is more densely populated and diverse, with 24.5% of people born overseas and 21.5% using a language other than English at home. While ACT - South West is car-dependent, Bonython is somewhat walkable, with 100% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport.

Both areas sit close to the national average for overall advantage. They also share similar rates of unemployment and similar proportions of First Nations people. Since 2016, the gap in the number of people born overseas has widened, and the difference in home ownership has grown as more people in Bonython own their homes outright.
