Darra Inala

Inala and Darra are neighbouring suburbs with distinct profiles. Inala is a very walkable area where 52.6% of people use a language other than English at home and 54.9% of households rent. It has a larger population of children and First Nations people, but also higher rates of First Nations unemployment (28.8%). Darra is more qualified, with 22.7% of adults holding a bachelor degree compared to 8.1% in Inala, and it has a higher proportion of adults working or looking for work (62.1%).

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, maintaining a shared character in some respects. They have almost identical proportions of people living alone and separate houses, and both are very close to the national figure for people aged 65 and over. While Inala is more accessible for those on foot — with a very walkable score and far more homes within a 15-minute walk of health services — both areas remain far above the national average for people born overseas.
