Forde Taylor

Forde and Taylor are neighbouring areas in the Australian Capital Territory with very different profiles. Forde is a wealthier area where the typical family earns $3,730 a week and 58.9% of households make $3,000 or more. It is also more walkable, with 86.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Taylor is much more diverse, with 53.8% of people born overseas and 63.4% using a language other than English at home. Taylor has also seen huge growth recently, with 93.7% of residents moving in during the last five years.

Daily life in both places shares many similarities, such as having nearly identical shares of adults with a university degree and people commuting by public transport. They both have similar drive times to the city and a nearly identical proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. While both areas have a young population compared to the national figure, the gap between them is shifting; Taylor is becoming even more diverse and transient as the number of people born overseas and recent arrivals continues to rise.
