Morayfield - East Wamuran

Morayfield - East and Wamuran are nearby areas in Queensland with very different profiles. Morayfield - East is a rapidly growing hub where the typical resident is just 32 and many people rent their homes (42.0%). It has a higher share of one-parent families (21.6%) and is much more walkable, with 75.1% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport. In contrast, Wamuran is a more settled area where residents are far older, with a typical age of 43. It is much more likely for people to own their homes outright (37.3%) and a far higher share of households earn $3,000 or more a week (26.6%).

Since 2011, the gaps between these two places have generally widened. The difference in typical age has grown, and the divide in home ownership and rental rates has become more pronounced. Despite these shifting trends, the two areas share some basics: typical weekly personal incomes are very similar ($731 in Morayfield - East and $767 in Wamuran), and the proportion of adults working or looking for work is almost identical.
