Redlynch Kuranda

Redlynch and Kuranda are two nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Redlynch is a more affluent hub where the typical household earns $2,193 a week, and 63.9% of adults have finished Year 12. Kuranda is older and more modest, with a typical age of 47 and a typical weekly household income of $1,352. Redlynch has larger schools and many more big homes, with 88.3% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Kuranda has a higher rate of home ownership, with 39.2% of homes owned outright.

Since 2011, the gaps in income and education have widened, though the difference in home ownership and the number of recent arrivals has narrowed. Despite these trends, the two areas remain alike in other ways. They have similar rates of volunteering and a nearly identical proportion of detached houses. Both areas also experience similar terrain and temperatures, though Redlynch offers more access to public transport and parks within walking distance.
