Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 4.4 km apart · Canberra Airport profile · Kingston profile
Canberra Airport Kingston
Kingston (ACT) and Canberra Airport are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Kingston (ACT) is a densely populated hub where 62.7% of adults have a bachelor degree or higher, and 41.4% of households earn $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, Canberra Airport is sparsely populated and largely non-residential, with a much smaller share of degrees (27.2%) and lower typical incomes. The two areas differ sharply in housing: Kingston (ACT) consists mostly of flats and apartments, while 68.2% of homes in Canberra Airport are separate houses.
These differences in living patterns are widening, particularly regarding accessibility. Kingston (ACT) is a walker's paradise where every home is within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services. Canberra Airport is only somewhat walkable, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of health services. Both areas are effectively alike in that almost every home is within walking distance of a park, and very few residents speak little or no English.
