Miles - Wandoan Roma

Roma and Miles - Wandoan are two Queensland areas with very different layouts and economies. Roma is more compact and walkable, with 62.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 84.9% near a park. It has a larger typical household income of $1,706 and a higher proportion of renters at 45.4%. In contrast, Miles - Wandoan is more spread out and agricultural, with far more people working from home (18.5% compared to 4.2% in Roma) and a much higher share of overseas arrivals at 34.0%.

The gap in rental rates has widened since 2011, but the two areas share several other characteristics. They have an identical number of people per home (2.4) and very similar unemployment rates, around 3%. Both areas have a low number of people who speak little or no English and a similar level of overall education and job skills. While Roma is younger, with a typical age of 35, the age gap between the two has narrowed over the last decade.
