Garran Isaacs

Garran and Isaacs are neighbouring areas in the Australian Capital Territory with distinct characters. Garran is a very walkable area where 94.7% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries. It has a younger population, with children under 15 making up 20.6% of residents, and a higher proportion of renters at 29.8%. Isaacs is more car-dependent and residential, with a typical resident who is far older at 49. A much higher share of Isaacs residents own their homes outright (51.4%) and live in separate houses (83.7%).

Typical weekly personal incomes are almost identical in both areas, sitting around $1,300 to $1,350. This shared economic standing exists alongside a contrast in housing and lifestyle; Garran has far more public transport departures and a higher rate of people moving in recently. While Isaacs has a far higher share of homes with four or more bedrooms, both areas show similar levels of volunteering and a similar proportion of people who have served in the Defence Force.
