Dartmoor Tarpeena

Tarpeena and Dartmoor are both small, rural areas, though they offer very different levels of convenience. Dartmoor is somewhat walkable, with about 79% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school, health services, and groceries. In contrast, Tarpeena is car-dependent and has no amenities within a 15-minute walk. Other notable differences include family life and housing, as Tarpeena has a much higher share of one-parent families (19.7% compared to 9.8% in Dartmoor) and more people living alone.

Since 2011, the gap in volunteering has widened significantly, with Dartmoor now well higher at 18.6% compared to 10.5% in Tarpeena. Despite this, the two areas share a similar age profile, with about 28% of residents aged 65 or over in both places. They are also alike in their typical weekly personal income, which sits around $520 to $540, and both have a very high share of people with no religion, sitting at over 52%.
