Chisholm (ACT) is dominated by detached houses, with 95.8% of homes being separate houses compared to 75.1% in Isabella Plains. The two areas differ sharply in walkability; 88.7% of homes in Isabella Plains are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while only 37.6% in Chisholm (ACT) are. Chisholm (ACT) also has a far higher recorded offence rate, with 5,581 offences per 100,000 people compared to 3,442 in Isabella Plains.
