Googong Greenleigh

Googong and Greenleigh are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Googong is a young, growing community where the typical resident is 32 and children under 15 make up 28% of the population. It is far more walkable (somewhat walkable) than Greenleigh (car-dependent), with many more homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries (58.8% versus 7.8%) and health services (60% versus 0.2%). In contrast, Greenleigh is much older, with a typical age of 50 and 21% of people aged 65 or over. Home ownership also differs sharply, as 56.6% of Greenleigh homes are owned outright, compared to just 12.4% in Googong.

While they have tracked in different directions since 2011, they share several core similarities today. Both areas have the same unemployment rate (1.8%) and nearly identical typical weekly household incomes, around $3,300. They are also alike in their proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents (2.4%) and the very low number of homes without a motor vehicle. This suggests that while their age groups and walkability vary, the everyday financial standing of residents in both places is very similar.
