Aranda Belconnen

Belconnen and Aranda are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Belconnen is a hub for young adults and migrants, where 50.4% of people were born overseas and 46.3% use a language other than English at home. It is dominated by renters in flats or apartments, and the typical resident is just 30. Aranda is more established and wealthier, with a typical resident aged 42 and a typical weekly household income of $3,161, compared to $1,776 in Belconnen. Most homes in Aranda are separate houses with three or more bedrooms, and 43% are owned outright.

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to their Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations, which sit at around 1% to 1.5%. They also share a high level of accessibility, with virtually every home located within a 15-minute walk of both a park and a school. While they have these local similarities, the gap in housing and wealth remains large, and Belconnen continues to have much higher rates of renting and overseas arrivals.
