Athol Wyreema

Wyreema and Athol are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different profiles. Wyreema is a much younger place, with a typical resident aged 30 compared to 43 in Athol. It is also more transient, with 45.9% of people moving there in the last five years, while only 21.6% did the same in Athol. Housing varies greatly between them; 32.1% of Wyreema households rent, whereas 53.7% of homes in Athol are owned outright. This difference is mirrored in the local landscape, as Wyreema has more street connectivity and many more homes within a short walk of schools and parks.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people who speak little or no English. They also share a similar distance from the city and a complete reliance on cars, as neither area has any public transport. Despite these commonalities, the gap in home ownership has widened, and the difference in typical ages remains stark.
