Shorncliffe Taigum

Taigum and Shorncliffe are neighbouring areas with very different social and financial profiles. Taigum is far more culturally diverse, with 35.4% of people born overseas and 28.8% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Shorncliffe has a much wealthier population; the typical weekly family income is $3,099, which is far higher than Taigum's $1,828. This wealth gap is reflected in the housing, as Shorncliffe has far more separate houses and homes owned outright, while Taigum is dominated by townhouses and semi-detached homes.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of children under 15. They also share a similar everyday environment, as almost every home in both places is within a 15-minute walk of a park and groceries. However, the two areas have diverged in other ways. Shorncliffe has become more of a hub for people working from home, while Taigum has seen a much higher number of people move in over the last five years.
