Charnwood Fraser

Charnwood and Fraser are neighbouring areas in the ACT with very different social and physical profiles. Fraser is much wealthier, with 41.2% of households earning $3,000 or more a week compared to 19.0% in Charnwood. This higher income is consistent with a more qualified workforce; 33.1% of Fraser residents have a bachelor degree or higher, while the figure is 21.5% in Charnwood. Charnwood is far more walkable, with a score of 7.5 (very walkable) and 84.6% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a "15-minute-city" area. In contrast, Fraser is only 5.0 (somewhat walkable), and only 19.9% of its homes share that same proximity to local services.

Both areas share many everyday realities, including an identical 100% rate of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport and similar unemployment rates. They also have almost the same proportion of people living with long-term health conditions and an identical ratio of people per bedroom. While Charnwood has far more renters at 31.3% and Fraser has far more homes owned outright at 40.7%, both areas have seen their crime rates fall over the last five years.
