Lenaghan Tarro

Tarro and Lenaghan are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Tarro is a larger community where 26.5% of people are aged 65 and over, and many more live alone (33.9%) compared to Lenaghan. Health challenges are more common here, with 41.6% of people having a long-term health condition. In contrast, Lenaghan is sparsely populated and wealthier; its typical household income is $3,062 a week, which is far higher than the $1,167 usual for households in Tarro. Lenaghan also has a higher share of people working from home (35.7%) and more residents who finished Year 12.

Both areas have followed different paths since 2011, with the gaps in income and housing costs widening. They do share a similar proportion of children under 15, at around 16%. However, their daily environments differ greatly. Tarro is somewhat walkable and most homes are within a short walk of schools, parks and public transport. Lenaghan is car-dependent, with no public transport stops and far fewer amenities within walking distance.
