Duffy Weston

Weston and Duffy are neighbouring suburbs in the Australian Capital Territory. Weston has more public transport routes and a far larger number of schools, with 2.63 per 1,000 children compared to 1.51 in Duffy. The two areas differ notably in their housing and accessibility; Duffy has a far higher share of separate houses at 87.4% and nearly all homes are within a 15 minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Weston is more accessible for health services and has a noticeably older population, with 23.5% of residents aged 65 and over compared to 16.5% in Duffy.

Typical family incomes are almost identical in both areas, sitting around $3,100 a week. This shared financial profile exists alongside a narrowing gap in age, as the difference in typical resident age has shrunk from five years to three since 2011. While Weston has a well higher share of people born overseas and those using another language at home, both areas have a similar proportion of children under 15 and a similar share of homes owned outright.
