Googong Jerrabomberra

Jerrabomberra and Googong are neighbouring residential areas in New South Wales with a few sharp contrasts. Jerrabomberra is much better connected for travel, with a typical walk to public transport taking only 3 minutes compared to 50 minutes in Googong. This is reflected in the numbers: Jerrabomberra has 37 public transport stops while Googong has just 7. Googong is the younger of the two, where a typical resident is 32 and 68.4% of the population moved there in the last five years. This is consistent with Googong having a higher share of children under 15 (28.0%) and more people caring for children unpaid (43.4%).

Both areas are effectively alike when it comes to their typical weekly household incomes, which sit around $3,400. They also share very similar rates of university education, with about 35% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. While Jerrabomberra has far more homes owned outright (30.2% compared to 12.4% in Googong), both areas have seen an influx of new residents, though the growth is far more pronounced in Googong.
