Belconnen Gungahlin

Belconnen and Gungahlin are neighbouring areas in the Australian Capital Territory with distinct profiles. Gungahlin is younger and more culturally diverse, with 38.5% of people using a language other than English at home and 23.1% of its population being children under 15. In contrast, Belconnen is more established and accessible; it has a far higher number of public transport stops and 83.1% of its homes are in a 15-minute-city walkshed. Belconnen also has a higher share of people aged 65 and over (15.1%) and more homes owned outright (28.7%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for the proportion of people who are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. They are also very similar in their typical weekly rents, drive times to the city, and the share of people working from home. While they share many basics, the gap in cultural diversity has widened since 2011, as the share of people born overseas is now well higher in Gungahlin.
