Belconnen Evatt

Belconnen and Evatt are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Belconnen is a high-density hub where 63.6% of homes are rented and 74.9% are flats or apartments. It is a diverse, mobile area where 50.4% of people were born overseas and 46.3% use a language other than English at home. In contrast, Evatt is dominated by families in separate houses, with 96.7% of homes being detached. It has a much higher share of children under 15 (20.5% compared to 8.7% in Belconnen) and more high-income households, with 35.9% earning $3,000 or more a week.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, with crime rates falling in both. They share a similar proportion of First Nations residents and almost everyone in both places lives within a 15-minute walk of a park or school. While Belconnen has more public transport use and a higher number of university degrees, both areas are well-served by transport stops. This commonality exists even though Belconnen is much more likely to be car-free, with 14.1% of homes having no motor vehicle compared to just 2.3% in Evatt.
