Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 70 km apart · Ayr profile · Oonoonba profile

Ayr Oonoonba

Ayr and Oonoonba are two distinct Queensland communities located about 70km apart. Ayr is a significantly older area, with a typical resident aged 44 and 23.7% of people aged 65 and over. It has a higher share of people who own their homes outright (39.3%) and a much higher proportion of recent overseas arrivals (31.5%). In contrast, Oonoonba is much younger, with a typical resident aged 32, and a workforce with more university qualifications, where 26.4% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. Oonoonba also has a higher typical weekly household income of $2,086, compared to $1,269 in Ayr.

Everyday life shares many similarities in both places, from nearly identical unemployment rates of 3.7% to similar weather and a "somewhat walkable" environment. They also have almost the same share of people who speak little or no English. However, some gaps are widening; the difference in typical age has grown to 12 years, and the gap in typical household income has increased since 2011. While Ayr has more homes within walking distance of groceries and schools, Oonoonba has far more residents within a 10-minute walk of public transport.
