Benaraby Tannum Sands

Tannum Sands and Benaraby are two nearby areas in Queensland with very different layouts. Tannum Sands is a more developed hub where 72% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services, making it somewhat walkable. In contrast, Benaraby is car-dependent, with no homes within walking distance of shops or health services. There are also clear differences in housing and people; Tannum Sands has far more renters (30.1% compared to 8.2%) and a higher share of people who have moved recently (43%). Benaraby stands out for its First Nations community, where the typical personal income is $1,041, far higher than the $530 seen in Tannum Sands.

Both areas are almost identical in the typical age of their residents, which is 41. They also share very similar typical weekly personal incomes of around $875. While they are alike in these ways, the gaps in accessibility are stark, as Tannum Sands has far more public transport stops and a much larger average school size of 365 students compared to just 52 in Benaraby.
