Burra Googong

Googong and Burra are nearby neighbours with very different profiles. Googong is a young, fast-growing area where 28% of people are children and 68.4% of residents moved in during the last five years. It is more walkable (somewhat walkable) and has a higher share of renters (18.2%) and people who use another language at home (16.6%). In contrast, Burra is much older, with a typical resident aged 46 and a higher share of seniors (16.6%). It is car-dependent, and homes are far more likely to be owned outright (37.9%).

Both areas share a similar proportion of First Nations people and very similar unemployment rates. This common ground exists even as the two places drift apart in other ways; for example, the gap in home ownership and the age of residents is far wider than it was in the past. While Googong has more people working or looking for work (82%), both areas sit well above the national figure for this measure.
