Aratula Kalbar

Kalbar (L) and Aratula (L) are neighbouring areas in the Scenic Rim, though they offer very different living environments. Kalbar (L) is a somewhat walkable hub where 71.6% of homes have easy access to local amenities, including health services and groceries. In contrast, Aratula (L) is car-dependent, with only 28.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of such services. Kalbar (L) also has a much higher share of recent arrivals from overseas at 23.9%, compared to 10.3% in Aratula (L).

Since 2011, the two areas have shifted in different directions across several measures. The gap in recent overseas arrivals has narrowed, while the difference in the share of people with bachelor degrees has widened as Kalbar (L) moved ahead. Despite these shifts, they remain very similar in other ways, such as having the same typical number of people per home and nearly identical typical weekly personal incomes.
