Gordon Namadgi

Namadgi is a sparsely populated area where the typical resident is far younger at 27. Gordon (ACT) is a more established community where residents are far older, with a typical age of 38. There are sharp contrasts in their demographics and wealth: Gordon (ACT) has a far higher share of people born overseas (20.8% versus 0.0%) and a much larger group of high earners, with 18.6% of residents making $2,000 or more a week compared to none in Namadgi. Education and employment also differ, as Gordon (ACT) has a far higher share of people who finished Year 12 and those working or looking for work.

Both areas are similar in their typical weekly family income, which sits around $2,700. While they share this financial baseline, their everyday environments are worlds apart. Gordon (ACT) is somewhat walkable with many nearby schools and shops, whereas Namadgi is car-dependent and has almost no local amenities.
