Gungahlin Woden Valley

Gungahlin and Woden Valley are two distinct hubs in the Australian Capital Territory. Gungahlin is a younger area where the typical resident is 32, and it has a much higher share of children under 15 (23.1%) and people using another language at home (38.5%). In contrast, Woden Valley has a noticeably older population, with the typical resident aged 39 and a far higher share of people aged 65 and over (18.5%). Woden Valley also offers much better walkability, with 80.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services compared to 40.6% in Gungahlin.

Since 2011, many of the gaps between the two areas have been narrowing. The difference in the typical age of residents has fallen by two years, and the gap in home ownership—where Woden Valley is far higher in homes owned outright (32.8% versus 16.6%)—has also shrunk. Despite these shifts, both areas remain very similar in their typical weekly household incomes and the proportion of residents who have completed Year 12.
