Boorooma Dhulura

Boorooma and Dhulura are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Boorooma is a more populated, somewhat walkable place where 26.3% of residents are children and 19.0% were born overseas. In contrast, Dhulura is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with a smaller share of children (14.3%) and fewer overseas-born residents (7.1%). Dhulura has a more highly qualified and higher earning workforce, with 43.3% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher and 30.0% earning $2,000 or more a week.

These two places have tracked further apart since 2011, most notably in their mobility and connectivity. The gap in people who moved in the last five years has widened, with a far higher share now in Boorooma (68.8%) than in Dhulura (30.0%). While they share a similar typical weekly personal income of around $1,100, they differ sharply on local access; Boorooma has many more homes within a short walk of schools, parks and groceries, while Dhulura remains largely non-residential.
