Garran O'Malley

Garran and O'Malley are neighbouring areas in the ACT with very different housing and street layouts. Garran is very walkable, with 94.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while O'Malley is more car-dependent and consists almost entirely of separate houses (96.5%). O'Malley is far older, with a typical resident aged 51 compared to 41 in Garran, and far more homes are owned outright there (57.2% vs 35.7%). In contrast, Garran is more transient, with 45.6% of people having moved in the last five years, and it has a much higher share of renters at 29.8%.

Both areas sit about the same as the national figure for the share of people with no religion, and they share similar levels of education and job skills.
