Mundingburra Oonoonba

Oonoonba and Mundingburra are neighbouring areas in Townsville with very different profiles. Oonoonba is much younger, with a typical resident aged 32 compared to 43 in Mundingburra. This younger population is linked to a more active workforce, where 74.3% of adults are working or looking for work, far higher than the 54.6% in Mundingburra. Oonoonba also has higher rates of renting, at 44.3%, and a higher share of residents who have completed Year 12. In contrast, Mundingburra has a far higher proportion of seniors, with 24.4% aged 65 and over, and more people living alone (39.2%).

Everyday life is similar in both places, from the shared climate and terrain to the similar proportions of people born overseas and those from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds. However, their accessibility differs greatly; Mundingburra has far better walkability, with nearly all homes within a 15-minute walk of a school. The gap in typical age has widened since 2011, and Oonoonba has seen a growing lead in full-time employment and home ownership trends.
