Carwoola Karabar

Karabar and Carwoola are neighbouring areas with very different layouts and incomes. Karabar is a more urban setting with a somewhat walkable score of 4.6, where 28.6% of homes are rented. In contrast, Carwoola is car-dependent, with a typical weekly household income of $3,205, which is far higher than the $1,989 seen in Karabar. Carwoola also has a more highly qualified population, with 29.4% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 17.2% in Karabar.

Everyday life in both places shares some similarities, such as a nearly identical share of people in de facto relationships. Both areas also have a very low rate of commuting by public transport. While Karabar has much better access to shops and schools, the two areas have tracked similarly in terms of the number of people per bedroom in their homes. This suggests that while the surrounding environment and incomes differ, the internal scale of their housing remains quite alike.
