Tarraganda Wolumla

Wolumla and Tarraganda are nearby areas with very different characters. Wolumla is a very walkable place where most residents live within a 15-minute walk of a school, park and groceries. It has a younger population, with a typical resident aged 38 and a higher share of children under 15 (22.3%). In contrast, Tarraganda is car-dependent and much older, with a typical resident aged 50 and 26.7% of people aged 65 and over. Tarraganda is also wealthier; typical family incomes are $2,125 a week, compared to $1,569 in Wolumla, and homes are far more likely to be owned outright (56.8% compared to 35.7%).

Everyday life in both places shares some similarities, as they have almost identical rates of people using other languages at home and nearly the same typical personal weekly income. However, some gaps have shifted since 2011. Residents in Tarraganda are now far older than those in Wolumla, which is the opposite of the trend seen a decade ago. At the same time, the gap in household wealth has widened, with Tarraganda seeing a much larger increase in the share of homes earning over $3,000 a week.
