Flynn Groom

Flynn and Groom are two large Queensland areas with very different layouts. Groom is much more walkable (somewhat walkable) compared to Flynn, which is mostly car-dependent.

Groom also has a higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 24.3% and more people with a bachelor degree or higher (19.6%), whereas Flynn has more people in de facto relationships (13.9%) and more separate houses (89.5%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for people with no religion, with Flynn at 39.8% and Groom at 32.2%. They are also very similar in their typical weekly household income, which is around $1,500 for both.
