Rankin Wright

Rankin and Wright are two large Queensland areas with very different layouts. Rankin is a very walkable hub where 37.2% of people were born overseas and 31.9% use another language at home. In contrast, Wright is car-dependent, with only 17.8% of residents born overseas and 6.6% using another language at home. Life in Rankin is more urban, with 36.3% of households renting and a typical resident aged 34. Wright is more rural and older, with a typical age of 39, a high rate of detached houses at 94.6%, and a much longer drive time to the city.

These two areas share a similar social makeup in many ways, with almost identical rates of full-time employment, a typical weekly income around $710 to $752, and the same average number of people per home. While they are similar in these respects, the gap in cultural diversity has widened since 2011, and the difference in housing tenure has also grown, with renting becoming far more common in Rankin than in Wright.
