Doonbah North Woodburn

Doonbah and North Woodburn are neighbouring areas with very different populations. Doonbah is a retirement-heavy area where the typical resident is 68 and 57% of people are seniors. This is consistent with a high rate of long-term health conditions (51%) and a large share of people living alone (33.3%). In contrast, North Woodburn is much younger, with a typical age of 39 and 32.5% of people caring for children unpaid. Home ownership also differs sharply; 70.8% of Doonbah homes are owned outright, while 27.1% of North Woodburn homes are rented, with typical rents there being far higher at $375 per week compared to $216 in Doonbah.

These two neighbours have tracked together since 2011, maintaining similar proportions of First Nations people and a shared lack of public transport use for commuting. While both are small, they offer different levels of access; North Woodburn is somewhat walkable with many homes within a 15-minute walk of shops and parks, whereas Doonbah is car-dependent. Doonbah does have far more public transport stops and departures, though the typical resident there is far less likely to be working or looking for work than those in North Woodburn.
