Bowan Park Cargo

Cargo and Bowan Park are neighbouring rural areas with very different profiles. Cargo is more walkable, with a score of 3.0 (mostly car-dependent), and has far more homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries (57.8%) and schools (52.5%). It also has a younger population, with a typical age of 38 and a higher share of children under 15 (26.7%). In contrast, Bowan Park is more affluent and better qualified; 62.0% of residents completed Year 12 compared to 37.9% in Cargo, and a far higher share of Bowan Park residents earn $2,000 or more a week (34.8% against 11.5%).

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011 in their reliance on cars, with almost no one using public transport to get to work.
