City Reid

City and Reid (ACT) are neighbouring areas with very different resident profiles. City is a young, transient hub where the typical resident is 27 and a huge 76.9% have moved in the last five years. It is dominated by apartments and renters, with 61.6% of households renting and almost no separate houses. In contrast, Reid (ACT) is older, with a typical age of 40 and far more homeowners who own their place outright. While City has a high proportion of people born overseas (44.3%) and those using another language at home (37.9%), Reid (ACT) has a more settled feel with 46.2% of homes having three or more bedrooms.

Both areas are remarkably similar in their accessibility and typical household incomes, which sit around $2,200 a week. Every home in both City and Reid (ACT) is within a 10-minute walk of public transport and a 15-minute walk of a park. While these similarities exist, the two areas have diverged in other ways; for example, the gap in the number of people aged 65 and over is far higher in Reid (ACT), while the number of people in de facto relationships is far higher in City.
