Greenleigh Queanbeyan West

Queanbeyan West and Greenleigh are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Greenleigh is an older and wealthier community where the typical resident is 50, and nearly half of all households earn $3,000 or more a week. It has a high proportion of university degrees (37.8%) and homes owned outright (56.6%). Queanbeyan West is much younger, with a typical age of 35, and has a higher share of renters (33.3%) and one-parent families (19.2%). It is also more connected, with far more public transport stops and a higher share of homes within a 10-minute walk of a stop.

Both areas are very similar in the share of people born overseas and the proportion of residents in de facto relationships. While they share these commonalities, they differ in how people get around; Queanbeyan West is somewhat walkable, whereas Greenleigh is car-dependent. The two areas also track differently in their stability, as Queanbeyan West has a higher share of recent overseas arrivals and people who have moved house in the last five years.
