Hexham Tarro

Tarro and Hexham (NSW) are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Tarro is somewhat walkable, with 65.2% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed and most residents living within a short walk of a school, park, or health service. In contrast, Hexham (NSW) is mostly car-dependent, with no homes in such a walkshed. These areas also differ in their residents; the typical person in Tarro is far older at 45, while the typical resident in Hexham (NSW) is 35. Home ownership is also much higher in Tarro, where 45.6% of homes are owned outright compared to 30.5% in Hexham (NSW).

These differences in housing and age are widening as the two areas drift apart over time. However, they still share some common ground, such as similar proportions of children under 15 and almost identical rates of volunteering. They also have the same number of public transport stops, though Hexham (NSW) has far more departures per 1,000 people. Both areas have a higher share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents than the national figure.
