Taree Taree South

Taree and Taree South are neighbouring areas with very different layouts and demographics. Taree is a larger hub where the typical resident is 45 and many people rent (37.1%). It is more walkable, with 73.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of the city centre and a walkability score of 5.3 (somewhat walkable). In contrast, Taree South is much older, with a typical age of 53 and a walkability score of 2.5 (mostly car-dependent). It has a higher rate of outright home ownership at 48.4%, while Taree has a far higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 14.7% compared to none in Taree South.

Daily life in both places is similar in many ways, with nearly identical typical weekly family incomes around $1,300 and the same number of people per home. They also share very similar unemployment rates, sitting around 9%, and a similar proportion of residents who do not have a religion. While Taree has more children and a higher share of one-parent families, both areas sit well above the national figure for First Nations populations.
