Amaroo Taylor

Amaroo and Taylor are neighbouring areas in the Australian Capital Territory with very different characters. Taylor is a high-growth area where 93.7% of people moved in during the last five years, and it is far more culturally diverse, with 53.8% born overseas and 63.4% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Amaroo is very walkable, with 99.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and a typical weekly rent that is far higher at $460, compared to $282 in Taylor.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in opposite directions regarding crime, with Amaroo seeing a 12.5% drop in the crime rate while Taylor's has risen by 100%. Despite these trends, they remain very similar in other ways, such as their typical weekly household incomes, which sit around $2,700. They also share nearly identical rates of full-time employment and provide every resident with a park within a 15-minute walk.
