Kambah Oxley

Kambah and Oxley (ACT) are neighbouring areas with very different levels of local amenity. Kambah is much more walkable for daily needs, with 85.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 53% near health services, compared to just 16.9% and 8.9% in Oxley (ACT). This reflects a wider gap in accessibility, as 80.5% of Kambah homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, while only 13.9% of homes in Oxley (ACT) do. However, crime patterns vary, with the burglary rate far higher in Oxley (ACT) and the motor vehicle theft rate far higher in Kambah.

These two areas share a very similar profile in terms of typical weekly incomes and the share of children under 15. They also both have a higher proportion of households earning $3,000 or more a week than the national figure. While both areas are largely made up of separate houses, Oxley (ACT) has a higher share of this home type. Other similarities include a nearly identical percentage of people who use another language at home and similar levels of long-term health conditions.
