Sippy Downs Tanawha

Sippy Downs and Tanawha are neighbouring areas with very different lifestyles. Tanawha is a wealthier area where the typical weekly household income is $2,542, far higher than the $1,484 seen in Sippy Downs. Homes in Tanawha are more likely to be owned outright (36.8%) and are mostly separate houses (92.5%), while Sippy Downs has a much higher share of renters (33.2%) and more townhouses or apartments. This contrast extends to the streets; Sippy Downs is somewhat walkable with many homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and schools, whereas Tanawha is car-dependent.

Both areas share similar proportions of First Nations residents and people who speak a language other than English at home. While they differ in wealth and layout, they are both higher than most other areas of their type in terms of public transport stops per 1,000 people. However, the gap in accessibility remains wide, with 98.4% of Sippy Downs homes within a 10-minute walk of transport compared to just 6.0% in Tanawha.
