Karrakatta Shenton Park

Shenton Park and Karrakatta are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Shenton Park is a populous residential hub where 20.2% of people are children and 58.4% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Karrakatta is sparsely populated and lacks children and seniors entirely. There are also stark differences in wealth and background; the typical weekly household income in Shenton Park is $2,313, which is far higher than the $900 seen in Karrakatta, and a much larger share of Shenton Park residents were born overseas.

Both areas have tracked differently since 2011, with Shenton Park seeing far more people move in over the last five years. They do share some traits, such as being just 9 minutes from the city and having 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park. While Shenton Park is a walker's paradise, Karrakatta is only somewhat walkable. Karrakatta also has a much higher number of public transport stops and departures per person than its neighbour.
