Boulia vs Warburton

Boulia and Warburton (Qld) are both rural Queensland areas, but they differ sharply in how people live there. Boulia has a population of 314, whereas Warburton (Qld) is largely non-residential with no residents. This means Boulia is far more walkable; it is considered somewhat walkable, while Warburton (Qld) is car-dependent. In Boulia, about 86% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of health services and parks, compared to 0% in Warburton (Qld). Boulia also has a far larger number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, with 112 people.

Neither area has any homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport, a common trait for these remote locations. This lack of transit links is a shared reality for both places, and the gap between them on this measure has remained the same.
