Oxley Wright

Oxley and Wright are two large Queensland areas with very different lifestyles. Oxley is a a more urban place where 36.4% of people were born overseas and 31.0% use a language other than English at home. It is also much more walkable, with 66.6% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a "15-minute-city" and 88.7% within a 10-minute walk of public transport. In contrast, Wright is car-dependent and more rural, with a drive time to the city that is 43 minutes longer than in Oxley. Wright also has a smaller proportion of overseas-born residents (17.8%) and a much lower share of people using another language at home (6.6%).

Typical weekly household incomes are almost identical in both places, sitting at $1,843 in Oxley and $1,797 in Wright. They also share similar proportions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and typical home sizes. Over time, some gaps have grown; for example, Oxley has seen a rise in the share of people born overseas and those using other languages at home compared to Wright. Education levels also differ, as Oxley has a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (23.5% compared to 14.5% in Wright), a gap that has widened since 2016.
