Blacksoil Walloon

Walloon and Blacksoil are neighbouring areas in Ipswich with very different profiles. Walloon is a younger, more active community where the typical resident is 35 and 22.1% of people are children under 15. It is also more transient, with 47.2% of residents moving in during the last five years. In contrast, Blacksoil is much older, with a typical age of 56 and 25.5% of people aged 65 and over. This older population is reflected in the health and housing data, with 29.2% of people needing help with daily activities and 48.3% of homes owned outright.

Both areas share a similar proportion of First Nations people and very similar typical personal incomes. While they are alike in these ways, their connection to the street is different. Walloon is mostly car-dependent but has more parks and shops within a 15-minute walk. Blacksoil is also car-dependent and has almost no homes within walking distance of a park or school, though it has a far higher share of homes near public transport.
