Chifley Pearce

Pearce and Chifley are neighbouring areas in the Australian Capital Territory with very similar population sizes. The two differ most in their age and diversity; residents are noticeably older in Pearce, where the typical age is 43 compared to 37 in Chifley. Chifley is much more diverse, with 24.1% of people arriving from overseas recently compared to 12.1% in Pearce. Public transport is more accessible in Pearce, where 99% of homes are within a 10-minute walk of a stop and there are far more weekly departures per 1,000 people. In contrast, Chifley has more walkable amenities per 1,000 residents and a higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services.

These differences in diversity have become more pronounced over time, as the gap in recent overseas arrivals has widened since 2011. Despite this, the two areas share a lot in common. They have nearly identical typical weekly household incomes, around $2,350, and similar shares of people who have completed Year 12. They also both have about the same proportion of First Nations residents and people who served in the Defence Force.
