Driver Gunn

Driver and Gunn are neighbouring areas in Palmerston with similar population sizes, but they offer very different living environments. Driver is much more walkable, with 99.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and far more public transport departures. In contrast, Gunn is dominated by large separate houses, which are far more common there than in Driver. This difference extends to income and education; Gunn has a far higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (34.4% compared to 23.1% in Driver) and far higher Year 12 completion among First Nations residents.

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, with almost identical rates of volunteering and people needing help with daily activities. They also have the same typical monthly home-loan payments of $1,950 and similar proportions of people working from home. While Gunn has a typical weekly household income that is well higher than in Driver, both areas sit above the national figure for this measure.
