Kambah Pearce

Kambah and Pearce are neighbouring areas in the Australian Capital Territory with very different housing and educational profiles. Kambah is dominated by larger homes, with 84.6% being separate houses and 89.6% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Pearce has a much higher share of townhouses and semi-detached homes, and a higher proportion of university graduates, with 46% holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 32.2% in Kambah. Pearce also has far more schools per 1,000 children (6.52 versus 1.02) and a typical family income that is well higher at $3,302 a week.

Both areas are very similar in the typical size of their households, with about 2.5 or 2.6 people per home. This shared domestic scale exists alongside other commonalities, such as almost identical weekly rents and a similar number of people providing unpaid care. While Pearce generally has better access to shops and transport within a short walk, Kambah has seen a more significant drop in its crime rate over the last five years.
