Fraser Latham

Latham (ACT) and Fraser are neighbouring areas in the Australian Capital Territory. They differ most in accessibility and income, with Latham (ACT) being far more walkable; nearly all its homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries (99.9%) and schools (100%), compared to just 19.3% and 84.4% in Fraser. Fraser is wealthier, with a far higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (41.2% compared to 29.4% in Latham (ACT)). Other notable differences include public transport, with Fraser having far more weekly departures per 1,000 people (2,653.8 vs 1,313.5) and a far higher number of stops per 1,000 people (14.58 vs 6.90).

These two areas share very similar profiles in many ways, including a nearly identical share of children under 15 and almost the same typical weekly personal income. They also both have similar rates of people providing unpaid care and an equal number of people per bedroom. While the two areas track closely in these respects, some gaps are shifting, such as the First Nations population in Latham (ACT) being far larger than in Fraser.
