Coombs Wright

Coombs and Wright are neighbouring areas in the ACT that differ mostly in their housing and family makeup. Coombs has a much higher share of homes with three or more bedrooms (70.4% compared to 52.1% in Wright) and a larger number of children under 15. This is consistent with more people caring for children unpaid in Coombs and a higher share of larger households. In contrast, Wright has more flats or apartments and more people living alone, with a higher share of people with no religion (40.4%).

Both areas are very similar in their typical weekly incomes, with about 40% of households in each earning $3,000 or more. They also share a highly qualified workforce, with around 54% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher.
