Pittsworth Darling Heights

Darling Heights and Pittsworth are nearby Queensland areas with very different characters. Darling Heights is a more diverse, younger hub where the typical resident is 33 and 28.1% were born overseas. It has a high rental rate of 43.2% and is described as somewhat walkable. In contrast, Pittsworth is a more traditional rural area where residents are far older, with a typical age of 42. It is mostly car-dependent, and 94.8% of homes are separate houses, compared to 65.5% in Darling Heights.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several ways. The gap in overseas births and the use of languages other than English have both widened, and the difference in rental rates has grown. Despite these shifting trends, they remain very similar in some areas. Both have about 20% of their population under 15, and typical weekly household incomes are nearly identical, sitting at around $1,400.
