Duffy Coombs

Coombs and Duffy are neighbouring areas in the Australian Capital Territory with very different profiles. Coombs is a young, fast-growing area where the typical resident is 30 and 42.6% of people were born overseas. It has a high proportion of newer, smaller homes, with townhouses and flats being much more common than in Duffy. In contrast, Duffy is an older community where the typical resident is 39 and 16.5% of the population are seniors. Homes in Duffy are more likely to be large, separate houses owned outright, and the area has far more public transport stops and departures per person.

Both areas share a similar typical household income of around $2,600 a week, which is close to the national figure. While they are alike in their typical weekly rents and the size of their families, other gaps are widening. Since 2016, the difference in home ownership and the share of people born overseas has grown. Coombs has also seen much faster population growth, while the gap in the number of people using a language other than English at home has increased significantly.
