A young suburb

Median age 30. Tarneit skews younger: first homes, first renovations, and a lot of people still working out who's who on the street.

8,845 homes still on a mortgage

Owners still paying it off are often the newer faces in Tarneit: the households asking who does good gutters, where the kids play weekend sport, and whether anyone has a ladder long enough for the second storey.

10% of households are one person

1,586 households in Tarneit are a single person. A neighbour who'll take in a parcel, feed the cat or check in after a storm matters more than any app feature. Doorstep is just how you find them.
