Capricornia Flynn

Capricornia and Flynn are two large Queensland regions with very similar population sizes of around 159,000 people. The biggest differences are found in local access and transport. Capricornia is much more walkable, with 75.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park, compared to 53.2% in Flynn. This trend continues with better walking access to groceries, schools and health services in Capricornia. In contrast, Flynn has far better public transport, with 18.6% of homes within a 10-minute walk of a stop, whereas Capricornia has only 5.5%.

Since 2011, the gap in household income has widened, with Capricornia now leading by $207 per week. This is consistent with a higher share of households in Capricornia earning $3,000 or more weekly. Despite these shifting finances, the two areas remain very alike in other ways. They have almost identical shares of children under 15 (around 20%) and people aged 65 and over (about 16%). Both regions also have similar levels of people who speak a language other than English at home, at around 5%.
