Flynn Latham

Latham and Flynn are neighbouring suburbs in the Australian Capital Territory with very similar population sizes. Flynn has a wealthier profile, with a typical weekly household income of $2,728 compared to $2,125 in Latham, and a far higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week. Latham is more walkable, with nearly all homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, schools, and a 15-minute-city walkshed, whereas these figures are all about 21 to 23 percentage points lower in Flynn.

These two areas share a great deal in common, including almost identical proportions of children, overseas-born residents, and people who have served in the Defence Force. While both have seen crime rates fall over the last five years, the gap in their walkability and transport access remains significant, with Latham having far more weekly public transport departures per 1,000 people.
