Its 2021 QuickStats, read on 13 October 2026, sit here beside the bureau's 2025 estimate. | Measure | Value | | --- | --- | | Residents, 2021 Census | 61,188 | | Estimated residents, 2025 | 68,290 | | Median age | 31 | | Families | 13,352 | | Private dwellings | 27,982 | | Motor vehicles per dwelling | 1.4 | | Share | Inner North | ACT | | --- | --- | --- | | Flat or apartment | 42.6% (10,078) | 19.4% | | Walked to work | 13.4% (4,888) | 4.0% | | Drove a car to work | 40.8% (14,925) | 59.0% | | Residents aged 15 to 19 | 7.7% (4,714) | 5.8% | ### Walkable The walking share was more than three times the ACT figure, and only 40.8% of workers drove. ### Fewer cars Homes averaged 1.4 motor vehicles, the lowest of the eight districts on our pages, which shows in the registration data too. ### Teen residents Young people aged 15 to 19 made up 7.7% of residents, compared with 5.8% for the ACT, and degree holders were common too. Census night was during the pandemic, so walking and driving shares describe that week. The ABS rounds its shares and slightly perturbs small counts; table parts may not sum, and we print its figures unchanged. Signature project ## What Braddon minus Ainslie really means The ACT publishes registered vehicles by suburb, make, model and emissions band, dated 1 September 2026, leaving out any count of ten or fewer. Braddon has 69 published rows and Ainslie 62. Learners turn each into a Counter keyed by vehicle type and ask: which types are more common in Braddon, and by how much? | Operation | Keys kept | What it means | | --- | --- | --- | | A - B | 51 | Positive differences only; negatives and zeros vanish | | A.subtract(B) | 89 | Every key, including 34 negative and 4 zero results | | A & B | 42 | Types published in both, at the smaller count | | A \| B | 89 | Types in either, at the larger count | ### More in Braddon The biggest positive gaps are small hatchbacks and compact SUVs: one popular Mazda model by 37 vehicles and one Hyundai model by 30. ### More in Ainslie Going the other way, Ainslie leads on a Subaru wagon by 28 and on one electric SUV in the top emissions band by 23, as well as one trailer type. ### The vanishing third Using the minus sign alone, a learner would never see Ainslie's 34 leads at all, because Counter subtraction drops results that are zero or below. ### Suppression changes "only" Twenty-seven types appear only in Braddon's rows and 20 only in Ainslie's. That does not mean the other suburb has none: anything from zero to ten is simply not published. Learners label these as "Braddon published, Ainslie 10 or fewer" and avoid adding counts together into totals the data cannot support. Our source is the Access Canberra registration table published on data.act.gov.au under CC BY 4.0, which we fetched on 13 October 2026. Building the two Counters, taking the differences and tallying keys were all done in our own Python session. Writing it in Python ## Four operators and one method Counter supports +, -, & and | as multiset operations. Each one keeps only positive results, which is handy and dangerous in equal measure. | Step | Learner task | | --- | --- | | 1 | Build one Counter per suburb, keyed by make, model and emissions band. | | 2 | Compute A - B and B - A and check that together they still miss the 4 ties. | | 3 | Use subtract() to keep every difference and sort by size in both directions. | | 4 | Mark every key missing from one side as "10 or fewer", not zero. | Step 2 makes the behaviour visible: A - B has 51 keys, B - A has 34, and the four ties are in neither. Learners then try unary plus and minus on the subtract() result, which split it back into the same two groups. By the end they can say which operation answers "who has more of what" and which answers "what do both have". ### Younger learners Compare two bags of coloured counters and decide what "take away" should mean when one bag has fewer. ### Teenagers Run all four operations on the two suburbs and explain every key count. ### Adults Use Counter for stock, survey or log comparisons and document what each operation drops. Around the Inner North ## Exotic trees, street art and Friday bins A few more Inner North facts from territory open data. ### Exotic streets Of 54,182 public tree records in Inner North suburbs, 31,730 are labelled exotic and 17,731 native, by our count. ### Public art Seventy-five artworks are listed, including 38 sculptures, 18 street art pieces and 10 murals. ### Friday collection Twelve of the 13 Inner North suburbs in the ACT NOWaste list put their garbage out on a Friday. District and dates The boundary is the bureau's North Canberra area, roughly 44.7 square kilometres; our outline test puts 13 named suburbs in it. Russell has no rows in the vehicle data. ACT schools welcome new students on Monday 1 February 2027. Learning ladder ## From counter bags to collections.Counter Ages are a guide; the trial lesson places each learner.

It can write the code in seconds; reading the result needs you. An assistant asked for "what Braddon has more of" will happily write A - B. The output is correct for that question and silent about the 34 types where Ainslie leads. An Inner North learner who knows what Counter subtraction discards, and what suppression hides, can turn generated code into a fair comparison. Our Python classes pair quick drafts with slow, careful reading. The longer argument is in [why understanding code still beats copying it](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026). Delivery ## Inner North classes, online Lessons are live over video, so learners join from an apartment in Braddon or a house in Hackett. ### Live and guided A teacher leads every lesson and reviews code as it is written. ### School calendar Lessons follow ACT terms and pause for holidays. ### Trial lesson One free class, then a written recommendation. ### Group size Level-matched groups of fifteen to twenty, or private. ### Pace Two lessons a week, about eight a month. ### India hours In summer a 7pm Inner North lesson begins at 1:30pm in India. Clock changes The IANA time zone database links Canberra to Sydney, so clocks move forward on 4 October 2026 and back on 4 April 2027. Fees ## Inner North fees All learners pay the same fees. First class**USD 0** The first class is free and comes with a plan. Group tuition**USD 100** Groups: roughly eight sessions monthly, fifteen to twenty learners. Private tuition**USD 150** Private classes: about eight a month, one teacher. Billing is in US dollars, and nothing is charged until the trial lesson has agreed what to study and when. Holidays and missed classes are explained on the pricing page.

FAQ ## Inner North coding and Python questions Questions from Inner North families and adult learners. ### How many people live in the Inner North? The 2021 Census counted 61,188 people in the North Canberra statistical area, median age 31. The ABS estimate for 2025 is 68,290. ### What is collections.Counter? A Python dictionary for counting things. It adds multiset operations: +, -, & and |, plus methods such as subtract() and most_common(). ### Why does Counter subtraction drop values? The operators keep only positive counts by design. Use subtract() when you need zeros and negatives too. ### What does suppressed data mean here? The ACT does not publish vehicle counts of ten or fewer, so a missing row means "ten or fewer", not "none". ### Can 10-year-olds learn Python? Often yes, especially after a term or two of Scratch. The free lesson shows whether typing code will be fun or frustrating yet. ### Which suburbs are in the Inner North? Our test places 13 named suburbs in the North Canberra area, including Braddon, Ainslie, Dickson, Lyneham, Watson and Turner. ### Do you have a centre in the Inner North? No. Lessons are live online only, we have no Australian office, and our listed phone number is Indian. ### What do Inner North classes cost? The first lesson is free. Group classes cost USD 100 a month for two live lessons a week, about eight a month, in groups of fifteen to twenty, and one-to-one classes cost USD 150 a month. You agree the course and time before paying. ### How are groups formed? By level and pace in groups of fifteen to twenty, not by age or suburb. One-to-one lessons are there if no group time fits. ### Can university students and adults join? Yes. Students and working adults have their own groups, or a private teacher, and often bring a project of their own.
