Carroll Keepit

Carroll and Keepit are nearby rural areas in New South Wales, but they differ significantly in scale and wealth. Keepit is sparsely populated with only 16 residents, where typical weekly personal income is far higher at $1,281 compared to $725 in Carroll. Carroll is more developed, with a larger population of 305 and far more infrastructure, including two public transport routes and a school. This is reflected in the walkability scores, with Carroll being mostly car-dependent while Keepit is car-dependent.

While the gap in personal income is large, First Nations household incomes are almost the same in both places. Both areas also lack local groceries and health services within a 15-minute walk, and homes in both have a similar density of about 2.7 or 2.8 people per household. These shared patterns of rural life exist even as the gap in typical weekly rent has grown, with Keepit now far higher at $400 compared to $220 in Carroll.
