Boolaroo Teralba

Teralba and Boolaroo are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Boolaroo is very walkable, with 93.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and a high number of public transport stops. Teralba is mostly car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and a much longer walk to the nearest stop. However, Teralba is the wealthier of the two; its typical weekly household income is $2,060, which is well higher than the $1,504 seen in Boolaroo.

These two places share a similar profile in many ways, including similar rates of volunteering and a nearly identical share of people born overseas. The gap in accessibility to schools is widening, as Boolaroo now has a far higher number of schools per 1,000 children than Teralba. This contrast in local amenities sits alongside a difference in First Nations outcomes, with Year 12 completion far higher in Boolaroo at 45.7% compared to 34.0% in Teralba.
