Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 4.0 km apart · Callaghan profile · Kooragang profile

Callaghan Kooragang

Callaghan and Kooragang are neighbours with very different profiles. Callaghan is a very walkable area where the typical resident is just 20, and typical weekly incomes are far below the national figure at $302. Kooragang is sparsely populated and largely non-residential, with residents who are far older, typically 40, and earn a far higher typical weekly income of $2,500.

The two areas share a lack of nearby groceries, as no homes in either place are within a 15-minute walk of a shop. They also have similar school advantage scores. However, they have moved in opposite directions regarding accessibility; while Callaghan remains very walkable with high street connectivity, Kooragang is car-dependent and has a far higher walk to the nearest transport stop.
