Kangaroo Point Taren Point

Taren Point and Kangaroo Point (NSW) are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Taren Point is much older, with a typical resident aged 58 and 43.5% of people aged 65 and over. It is also more accessible, with 89.9% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, compared to just 0.8% in Kangaroo Point (NSW). In contrast, Kangaroo Point (NSW) has a much wealthier and more qualified population; the typical household income is $4,111 a week, far higher than the $1,463 typical in Taren Point.

Both areas have unemployment rates that sit near the national figure. They also share similar levels of volunteerism and a near-identical proportion of people who identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. While Kangaroo Point (NSW) is almost entirely made up of separate houses, Taren Point has a higher share of flats and apartments. This difference in housing and the gap in typical incomes have remained prominent as the two areas have developed.
