Pialligo Symonston

Symonston and Pialligo are neighbouring areas in the ACT with very different profiles. Symonston is an older area where the typical resident is 55 and many live alone; 60.3% of homes are occupied by one person and 64.1% are owned outright. Pialligo is much younger and wealthier, with a typical household income of $3,374 compared to $841 in Symonston. This wealth is reflected in the housing, with 94.7% of Pialligo homes having three or more bedrooms, while only 17.6% of Symonston homes do.

A gap that is clearly widening exists in household income and education, with Pialligo seeing far higher shares of university degrees and top-tier earnings. Despite these contrasts, both areas are nearly identical in their lack of public transport use and have a similar percentage of people who need help with daily activities. They also share a very low proportion of residents who speak little or no English.
