East Side Larapinta

East Side and Larapinta are neighbouring areas in Alice Springs with distinct layouts. East Side is much more walkable, with 76.6% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a '15-minute-city' hub and 75.9% near groceries. In contrast, Larapinta is more car-dependent, with a far higher share of separate houses (71.9% compared to 61.3% in East Side) and a much longer walk to the nearest transport stop. East Side also has a more highly qualified workforce, with 32.6% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 25.3% in Larapinta.

Everyday life is very similar in both places, with nearly identical typical weekly incomes and the same average number of people per bedroom. Both areas also have similar rates of long-term health conditions and a similar share of people using another language at home. While they share these commonalities, some gaps are changing; for example, the difference in the share of people with no religion has widened, and the gap in full-time employment has also increased since 2011.
