Tahmoor Couridjah

Tahmoor and Couridjah (L) are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different layouts. Tahmoor is a much larger community that is very walkable, with 68.1% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 61.9% near health services. In contrast, Couridjah (L) is sparsely populated and car-dependent, where no homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park, school or shop. There are also notable social differences: Tahmoor has far more one-parent families (20.8% compared to 10.8%) and more people with no religion (39.8% versus 25.5%).

Everyday life in both places shares similar financial footprints, with almost identical typical weekly household incomes of around $1,700 to $1,800 and similar levels of university qualifications. However, the gap in housing is widening; Couridjah (L) has seen a rise in homes owned outright, reaching 36.3%, while Tahmoor has a far higher share of renters at 32.2%. This reflects a broader trend where Tahmoor is becoming more transient, with 44% of people moving in within the last five years.
