Fadden vs Monash

Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 2.8 km apart · Fadden profile · Monash profile

Fadden Monash

Monash and Fadden are neighbouring areas in the Australian Capital Territory, but they differ sharply in wealth and housing. Fadden is much more affluent, with a typical household income of $3,302 a week compared to $2,164 in Monash, and a far higher share of residents with a bachelor degree or higher (44.9% compared to 28.7%). Monash is more accessible by foot, with 35.8% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed, while Fadden is largely car-dependent at 2.5%. Monash also has more people living alone (26.0% versus 12.8%) and a higher proportion of renters.

Both areas have a similar typical age of 43, and the share of people living alone in Monash is about the same as the national figure. While they share many characteristics, such as similar unemployment rates and commute times, several gaps have widened since 2011. This is seen in the growing difference in household incomes and the rising gap in education levels, as the share of people who completed Year 12 has become far higher in Fadden.
