Goondiwindi Millmerran

Goondiwindi and Millmerran are two Queensland towns with very different profiles. Goondiwindi is younger and more connected, with 21.8% of its people under 15 and far more homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries (58.2%) and parks (78.9%). Millmerran has a much older population, with a typical resident aged 47 compared to 38 in Goondiwindi. Millmerran also has a higher share of people working in agriculture, forestry and fishing (35.2%) compared to Goondiwindi (15.6%), and more homes are owned outright there (43.5% versus 30.1%).

Both towns are very similar in other ways, such as having almost the same share of people who speak little or no English.
