Amaroo Bonner

Bonner and Amaroo (ACT) are neighbouring areas with similar population sizes, but they differ in their cultural makeup and layout. Bonner is much more diverse, with 40.4% of people born overseas and 44.4% using a language other than English at home. This is a younger area, where 29.1% of residents are children under 15, compared to 22.5% in Amaroo (ACT). Amaroo (ACT) is more walkable and better served by infrastructure; it has far more public transport stops and weekly departures, and a higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services (74.9% compared to 28.8% in Bonner).

These two areas have tracked closely since 2011, maintaining very similar typical weekly household incomes of around $2,800 and nearly identical rates of working from home. They also share similar levels of school advantage and a similar proportion of people who are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. While Bonner has a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree, both areas sit well above the national figure for university qualifications.
