Kurrajong Yerrabi

Yerrabi and Kurrajong are two large, nearby areas of the Australian Capital Territory with very different characters. Yerrabi is a family-focused area where 22.6% of people are children under 15 and 80.6% of homes have three or more bedrooms. It is also more culturally diverse, with 36.8% of people using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Kurrajong has a more urban feel, with a much higher share of people living alone (35.0%) and a greater number of flats or apartments. Residents there are more likely to be without a religion (53.3%) and have higher levels of university qualifications, with 53.9% holding a bachelor degree or higher.

Both areas share a typical resident age of 33 and very similar typical weekly household incomes of around $2,400 to $2,500. While they are alike in these ways, some gaps are widening; for example, the difference in the share of people born overseas has grown since 2016. Kurrajong also offers a more walkable environment, with 92.6% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, compared to 74.0% in Yerrabi.
