Applethorpe Thulimbah

Applethorpe and Thulimbah are neighbouring areas in Queensland with distinct differences in wealth and housing. Applethorpe has a far higher share of high-income households earning $3,000 or more a week (14.3% compared to 3.9% in Thulimbah) and a higher typical weekly household income of $1,408. It is also more likely to have larger homes, with 83.7% having three or more bedrooms, and sees far more recent overseas arrivals at 40.9%.

While the two areas differ in their housing and incomes, they are alike in their typical monthly mortgage payments and the proportion of residents who have moved in the last five years.
