Greenhills Beach Taren Point

Taren Point and Greenhills Beach are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Taren Point is an older community where the typical resident is 58, and 43.5% of people are seniors. In contrast, Greenhills Beach is much younger with a typical age of 37 and a far higher share of children under 15 at 25.3%. There is also a significant wealth gap; the typical household income in Greenhills Beach is $4,704 per week, far higher than the $1,463 seen in Taren Point. This is reflected in the housing, where Greenhills Beach is made up entirely of separate houses, while Taren Point has more flats and apartments.

Both areas share a very similar proportion of First Nations residents and a similarly low percentage of people who speak little or no English. They are also effectively alike in the size and advantage scores of their local schools. Despite these shared traits, the two places have drifted apart in other ways. Taren Point has seen a much higher share of people living alone, while Greenhills Beach has seen a rise in large families with three or more bedrooms.
