City O'Connor

O'Connor (ACT) and City are neighbouring areas with very different living patterns. O'Connor (ACT) is more family-oriented, with 15.4% of people being children and far more homes having three or more bedrooms (68.4%). In contrast, City is a hub for young adults and renters; the typical resident is just 27 and 61.6% of households rent. City is also much more international, with 44.3% of people born overseas and 37.9% using a language other than English at home, compared to 25.0% and 17.2% in O'Connor (ACT).

Both areas are highly accessible, with nearly every home within a 10-minute walk of public transport and a 3-minute walk to the nearest stop. This shared walkability exists alongside a stark divide in housing, as 66.0% of O'Connor (ACT) consists of separate houses while City is almost entirely apartments. While both areas have seen a drop in crime over the last five years, the gap in recorded offences remains huge, with the rate far higher in City.
