Karloo Tarcoola Beach

Tarcoola Beach and Karloo are neighbouring areas with very different social profiles. Tarcoola Beach is a more affluent area where the typical personal income is $1,027 a week and 21.3% of adults hold a bachelor's degree. In contrast, Karloo has a much younger population with a typical age of 33, compared to 43 in Tarcoola Beach. Karloo also has a far larger First Nations community, making up 22.2% of its residents, and a much higher share of one-parent families at 37.7%.

Both areas share almost identical access to green space, with nearly every home within a 15-minute walk of a park. However, other daily experiences differ; Tarcoola Beach is more connected with more people working or looking for work, while Karloo is more car-dependent, with a much longer walk to the nearest transport stop. These gaps are stark, particularly in education and income, where Tarcoola Beach remains far higher than Karloo.
