Churchill Ripley

Ripley and Churchill (Qld) are neighbouring areas in Ipswich with very different profiles. Ripley is a young, fast-growing hub where 72.0% of residents moved in during the last five years, and many are well qualified, with 63.1% completing Year 12. This is consistent with a more affluent workforce; the typical weekly household income in Ripley is $1,906, which is far higher than the $1,174 seen in Churchill (Qld). In contrast, Churchill (Qld) has a higher share of one-parent families (32.8%) and more residents with long-term health conditions (37.9%).

Both areas share a similar number of people per home, around 2.5 to 2.6, which is close to the national figure. While they are similar in that regard, they differ in how people get around. Churchill (Qld) is somewhat walkable with better access to public transport and schools, whereas Ripley is mostly car-dependent. This gap in walkability is stark, as 99.0% of homes in Churchill (Qld) are within a 15-minute walk of a school, compared to just 29.8% in Ripley.
