Miranda Taren Point

Miranda (NSW) and Taren Point are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Miranda (NSW) is a more transient and active hub, where 45.2% of people moved in the last five years and a typical weekly household income of $1,920 is well higher than in Taren Point. In contrast, Taren Point has a much older population; the typical resident is 58, and 43.5% of people are aged 65 and over. This age gap is reflected in the housing, with homes owned outright being far higher in Taren Point (41.8%) compared to Miranda (NSW) (28.1%), where 34.7% of households rent.

Everyday life in both places shares a similar feel in some ways, as both have an unemployment rate of 3.9% and almost every home is within a 15-minute walk of a park. However, they differ in accessibility; Miranda (NSW) is a walker's paradise with a walkability score of 8.1, while Taren Point is somewhat walkable at 6.0.
