Alloway Calavos

Alloway and Calavos are neighbouring rural areas in Queensland with distinct housing and health profiles. Alloway is dominated by separate houses, with 100% being detached dwellings, and a high share of homes having three or more bedrooms (90.7%). It also has a much higher typical weekly rent of $253. Calavos is more likely to have people living alone (30.8%) and a higher share of residents born overseas (18.4%). Health challenges are more common in Alloway, where more people have long-term health conditions (33.4%) and mental health conditions (12.5%).

These two areas have tracked closely since 2011, remaining very similar in many ways. They share a typical resident age of 45 and almost identical typical weekly family incomes of around $1,800. Both are car-dependent, as they both have very low walkability scores. This shared reliance on cars is consistent with the fact that neither area sees any residents commuting by public transport.
