Chinchilla Red Hill

Chinchilla and Red Hill (Western Downs - Qld) are nearby Queensland areas with very different characters. Chinchilla is a larger centre where renting is far more common (42.2%) and nearly half of all homes are within a 15-minute walk of local amenities. In contrast, Red Hill (Western Downs - Qld) is sparsely populated and entirely car-dependent, with 100% of homes being separate houses. Families in Red Hill (Western Downs - Qld) tend to be wealthier, with 28.6% of households earning $3,000 or more a week, compared to 16.8% in Chinchilla.

While they differ in scale and layout, both areas have similar proportions of people with a university degree (12.1%) and First Nations residents (around 7.5%). The gap in their populations has widened since 2011, as Chinchilla has seen far more people move in over the last five years (48.0%) than Red Hill (Western Downs - Qld) (24.3%).
