Deakin O'Malley

Deakin and O'Malley are neighbouring areas in the Australian Capital Territory with very different housing and community profiles. O'Malley is dominated by large separate houses, with 96.5% of homes being detached and 93.4% having three or more bedrooms. It is also much more diverse, with 43.6% of people born overseas and 43.2% using another language at home. In contrast, Deakin is more urban and transient; 28.5% of people live alone, 20.7% of households rent, and 42.7% of residents moved here in the last five years.

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, including typical weekly incomes of around $1,500 and almost identical unemployment rates of about 2.2%. Both areas also have 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park. However, Deakin is far more walkable, with nearly all homes within a short walk of health services and schools, while O'Malley is more car-dependent. This difference is reflected in the typical weekly rent, which is far higher in O'Malley at $975 compared to $560 in Deakin.
