Chinchilla Kingaroy Surrounds - South

Chinchilla and Kingaroy Surrounds - South are two Queensland regions with very different own-and-rent patterns and age profiles. Chinchilla is much younger, with a typical resident aged 35 compared to 46 in Kingaroy Surrounds - South. This is reflected in the families, with Chinchilla having a well higher share of children under 15 (22.7% versus 18.5%). Chinchilla also has a far higher proportion of renters (37.8% versus 16.3%) and a much larger presence of recent overseas arrivals at 31.2%. In contrast, Kingaroy Surrounds - South is far more likely to have homes owned outright (45.9% versus 29.2%) and a higher share of people aged 65 and over.

These two areas share a similar overall advantage level and nearly identical unemployment rates of around 3%. They are also alike in that they both have very few public transport stops and departures. However, since 2011, the gap in the typical age of residents has widened to 11 years, and the difference in home ownership has also grown. While both areas are largely residential, Chinchilla is more walkable, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of parks, schools, and health services.
