Cluden Oonoonba

Oonoonba and Cluden are neighbouring areas in Townsville with very different profiles. Oonoonba is much younger, with a typical resident aged 31 compared to 48 in Cluden. It has a more transient population, as 53.9% of people moved there in the last five years, and it is far more rental-heavy, with 51.0% of homes rented. In contrast, Cluden has a higher share of homes owned outright (36.3%) and larger households, with homes featuring three or more bedrooms being far more common. Educational backgrounds also differ; 59.4% of Oonoonba residents completed Year 12, compared to 39.4% in Cluden.

Everyday life in both places is similar in terms of household income and the share of children under 15. However, their accessibility varies greatly. Oonoonba is mostly car-dependent but has far better access to parks and public transport. Cluden is car-dependent and residents face a much longer walk to the nearest transport stop. While Oonoonba has a higher share of recent overseas arrivals and First Nations languages, both areas track closely to each other on typical weekly family incomes.
