Garran Pearce

Garran and Pearce are neighbouring areas in the Australian Capital Territory. Garran is a more diverse and affluent hub, where 34% of people were born overseas and typical weekly household incomes are well higher at $2,985. It has far more public transport options and 96.7% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of health services. In contrast, Pearce has a higher share of people living alone (30.4%) and is more focused on local greenery, with parks making up over half of its walkable amenities. Pearce also has far more schools per 1,000 children than Garran.

These two neighbours share a similar proportion of First Nations residents and people aged 65 and over. They also have almost identical rates of Year 12 completion and typical family incomes. However, the gap in recorded offences is stark, with the rate being far higher in Garran. This difference, along with the gap in typical household income, has widened since 2011.
