Chevallum Palmwoods

Palmwoods and Chevallum are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Palmwoods is a larger hub where it is far more common to walk to a park, school or shop, giving it a somewhat walkable feel. In contrast, Chevallum is car-dependent, with far fewer amenities within a 15-minute walk. There are also notable gaps in income and demographics; Chevallum has a far higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (30.3% compared to 19.2% in Palmwoods), while First Nations residents are far older and earn far more in Palmwoods.

These two places have tracked closely since 2011, remaining very similar in their typical weekly family incomes and the size of their homes. Both areas share a similar profile in terms of volunteer rates and the proportion of people who served in the Defence Force. While Palmwoods has a far higher number of public transport stops and departures, the percentage of people who actually commute using public transport is effectively equal and very low in both areas.
