Kambah ACT - South West

ACT - South West is a sparsely populated area where everyone lives in separate houses, while Kambah is a larger suburb. There are stark differences in how people live and get around; Kambah is very walkable with many residents within a 15-minute walk of shops and schools, whereas ACT - South West is car-dependent with no public transport stops. The two areas also differ in their populations, as Kambah has a much higher share of people born overseas (20.6%) and older residents (19.8%), while ACT - South West has more children under 15 (24.8%) and a higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (48.5%).

Everyday life shares many similarities across both places, including similar typical weekly rents and shares of adults with a bachelor degree or higher. Both areas also have roughly the same proportion of First Nations people and residents living with a mental health condition. While they share these commonalities, some gaps have grown since 2016, such as the difference in the number of people born overseas and the share of adults working or looking for work, which is far higher in ACT - South West.
