Kaleen Lyneham

Kaleen and Lyneham are neighbouring areas in the ACT with very different housing and lifestyles. Kaleen is dominated by large family homes, with 91.2% of dwellings being separate houses and 91.3% having three or more bedrooms. This is consistent with a higher share of children under 15 (18.0%) and more adults providing unpaid childcare (30.1%). In contrast, Lyneham has a more transient feel, with 56.2% of residents moving in the last five years and a much higher share of renters (48.3%). Lyneham also has a far higher proportion of people living alone (37.8%) and a greater share of residents with bachelor degrees (54.4%).

While these two areas differ in their housing, they share a similar typical weekly family income of around $2,700 and have almost identical unemployment rates. The gap in recorded offences between them is quite large, though the crime rate in Lyneham has fallen by 34.7% over the last five years, while Kaleen's has barely changed. Lyneham also provides more frequent public transport options, with far higher weekly departures per 1,000 people.
