Kambah Waramanga

Kambah and Waramanga are neighbouring areas in the ACT with very different levels of accessibility. Waramanga is much more walkable, with 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, schools and health services, compared to 85.7%, 84.2% and 53.0% in Kambah. Waramanga also has a much higher share of people speaking a First Nations language (24.6% versus 6.6%) and more residents with bachelor degrees (40.8% versus 32.2%). Kambah is more likely to have larger homes, with 89.6% of dwellings having three or more bedrooms compared to 77.9% in Waramanga.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of people in de facto relationships. They also share similar typical weekly incomes and very similar proportions of people using another language at home. Over time, some of the differences between the two are shrinking; for example, the gap in the share of homes owned outright and the proportion of renters has narrowed since 2011.
