Ayr Wulguru - Roseneath

Ayr and Wulguru - Roseneath are two Queensland areas with very different profiles. Ayr has a much larger number of schools and a far higher share of recent overseas arrivals, at 31.5%. It also has an older population, with a typical age of 44 and a well higher share of people aged 65 and over (23.7%). In contrast, Wulguru - Roseneath has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population, which makes up 20.2% of its residents, and far more homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport (79.1%).

Since 2011, the gaps between these two places have often widened, particularly regarding the share of people with no religion and the number of overseas arrivals in Ayr. Despite these shifting trends, they remain very similar in other ways. Both have almost identical typical weekly personal incomes, around $711 to $739, and a similar share of households earning $3,000 or more per week.
