Roma Banana

Roma and Banana are two different kinds of Queensland hubs. Roma is more compact and walkable, with 62.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 54.8% near health services. It also has a more transient population, as 44.4% of residents moved there in the last five years, and 45.4% of homes are rented. Banana is more spread out and stable, with 38.7% of homes owned outright and far more people working from home (21.2% compared to 4.2% in Roma).

Since 2011, the two areas have seen their differences shift in various ways. The gap in home ownership has narrowed slightly, while the difference in rental rates has widened. At the same time, the gap in the typical age of residents has narrowed, as the typical person in Roma is 35 and in Banana is 40. Despite these shifts, they remain very similar in other ways, such as having nearly identical typical weekly household incomes of around $1,700.
