Holt Macgregor

Macgregor (ACT) and Holt are neighbouring areas with distinct housing and amenity profiles. Macgregor (ACT) is more family-oriented, with a much higher share of children under 15 (24.3%) and more large homes, as 92.3% of dwellings have three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Holt is more walkable (very walkable) and has a higher proportion of people living alone at 31.3%. Holt also offers far better access to daily needs, with 78.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, compared to just 18.7% in Macgregor (ACT).

These two areas share several commonalities, including similar typical family incomes and a nearly identical proportion of residents who have served in the Defence Force. However, the gap in walkability and access to amenities remains stark. While both areas are nearby, Holt's higher number of public transport stops and frequent departures stand in contrast to Macgregor (ACT), where a larger share of residents live in separate houses and rely more on vehicles.
