Arcadia Pallarenda

Arcadia (Qld) and Pallarenda are two nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Arcadia (Qld) is a much older community, where the typical resident is 63 and 43.1% of people are aged 65 and over. In contrast, Pallarenda is younger, with a typical age of 45 and a much higher share of children under 15 (18.6% compared to 6.9% in Arcadia (Qld)). Incomes are also far higher in Pallarenda, where the typical household earns $2,290 a week, compared to just $1,008 in Arcadia (Qld).

Both areas are very similar in that almost every home is within a 15-minute walk of a park. This shared access to green space exists alongside a sharp divide in other amenities; Arcadia (Qld) has many homes within walking distance of groceries, while Pallarenda has far more homes near public transport.
