Belconnen Weetangera

Belconnen and Weetangera are neighbouring areas with very different lifestyles. Belconnen is a young, diverse hub where the typical resident is 30 and over half (50.4%) were born overseas. It is dominated by renters in apartments, with 63.6% of homes rented and only 0.5% being separate houses. In contrast, Weetangera is an older, wealthier area where the typical resident is 41. It is characterised by large family homes, with 91.5% being separate houses and a typical weekly household income of $3,349, which is far higher than Belconnen's $1,776.

Both areas share a high level of education, with about 83% of residents completing Year 12. They also both provide easy access to nature, as every single home in both places is within a 15-minute walk of a park. While they share these basics, the gap in home ownership is striking, as 46.6% of Weetangera homes are owned outright compared to just 11.3% in Belconnen.
