Belconnen Florey

Belconnen and Florey are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Belconnen is a young, transient hub where the typical resident is 30 and 73% have moved in the last five years. It has a far higher share of people born overseas (50.4%) and those using another language at home (46.3%). In contrast, Florey is more established, with a typical age of 39 and a housing market dominated by separate houses (76.5%) and larger homes with three or more bedrooms (82.7%). Belconnen is mostly made up of flats and apartments (74.9%) and has a much higher rental rate of 63.6%.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, with crime rates falling in both, though the drop was far steeper in Florey. They share several commonalities, including a similar proportion of First Nations residents (around 1.5% to 1.9%) and very similar typical weekly personal incomes, which both sit just above $1,000. They also have the same number of public transport stops, although Belconnen has far more weekly departures.
