Tenterfield Warwick

Warwick and Tenterfield are regional hubs located about 95km apart across the Queensland and New South Wales border. Tenterfield is far older, with a typical resident aged 55 compared to 44 in Warwick. Housing differs significantly; Tenterfield has a much higher share of homes owned outright (53.6% versus 35.9%), while Warwick has far more renters (32.3% versus 18.2%). Warwick also feels more connected for pedestrians, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries (48.3%) and parks (76.3%) than in Tenterfield.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally widened. The age difference has grown, and the divide in home ownership and remote work has become more pronounced. Despite these shifting trends, they remain very similar in other ways. Both have an identical share of First Nations people (7.5%), a similar proportion of adults with a bachelor's degree (around 11%), and almost the same percentage of people born overseas.
