Bororen vs Boynedale

Bororen and Boynedale are nearby Queensland areas with very different scales. Bororen has a population of 399 and functions more as a local hub, with two schools and a typical household income of $1,361 per week. Boynedale is sparsely populated with just 13 people and is almost entirely car-dependent. While Bororen is more walkable, with 34% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park, Boynedale has no homes within walking distance of parks or schools. The two areas also show a sharp contrast in wealth; typical family income is far higher in Boynedale at $3,250 per week, compared to $1,514 in Bororen.

Both areas are almost identical in their lack of local services, as no homes in either place are within a 10-minute walk of public transport or a 15-minute walk of health services and groceries. This shared reliance on cars exists alongside other differences, such as a typical resident age that is noticeably older in Bororen by 3 years. In both locations, residents are far older than the national figure.
