Karabar vs Fyshwick

Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 8.6 km apart · Karabar profile · Fyshwick profile

Karabar Fyshwick

Karabar and Fyshwick are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Karabar is a residential community where 19.0% of people are children and typical weekly personal incomes are far higher at $975. In contrast, Fyshwick is sparsely populated and largely non-residential, with no children present and a much lower typical weekly personal income of $599. Fyshwick also has a much higher share of people who speak little or no English (15.4%) and a higher rate of unemployment at 33.3%.

The gap in the number of children living in these areas has widened since 2016. However, the two places share some similarities, such as having a similar proportion of First Nations people (around 7.2% to 7.7%) and almost identical access to parks within a 15-minute walk. While Karabar is more likely to have schools nearby, Fyshwick has a much higher number of public transport stops and grocery stores within a short walk.
