Googong Gilmore

Googong and Gilmore (ACT) are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Googong is a high-earning hub where 57% of households earn $3,000 or more a week and 34.4% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. It is a young, growing place, with 28% of people under 15 and a massive 68.4% of residents having moved there in the last five years. In contrast, Gilmore (ACT) has a more established feel, with more people aged 65 and over and a higher share of homes owned outright.

Both areas share similar levels of overseas birth and a high proportion of large homes, as 94.3% of dwellings in both places have three or more bedrooms. However, their layouts differ sharply. Gilmore (ACT) is much more connected, with nearly all homes within a short walk of a school and public transport. Googong is far more car-dependent, with residents facing a typical 50-minute walk to the nearest transport stop. This gap in accessibility is far wider than the national figure for transport access.
