Wamuran vs Kilcoy

Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 57 km apart · Wamuran profile · Kilcoy profile

Wamuran Kilcoy

Kilcoy and Wamuran are both rural Queensland areas, but they differ in wealth and layout. Wamuran has a much higher share of high earners, with 26.6% of households making $3,000 or more a week compared to 13.1% in Kilcoy. This higher income is reflected in the homes; 93% of houses in Wamuran have three or more bedrooms, while Kilcoy sits at 79.1%. Kilcoy is more diverse and welcoming to newcomers, with 34% of residents arriving from overseas recently, far higher than the 6.8% in Wamuran.

These two places are drifting further apart as the gap in high-income households has widened since 2011. Despite this, they share many everyday realities, such as having almost identical rates of detached houses and nearly the same typical weekly rent. Both areas are also very similar in the proportion of people who have served in the Defence Force or live with a long-term health condition. While Kilcoy has more walkable access to groceries and health services, both areas have virtually no public transport options.
