Dajarra Warenda

Dajarra and Warenda are two remote Queensland locations with very different profiles. Dajarra is a small community where the typical resident is 38, while Warenda is sparsely populated and largely non-residential with a typical age of 54. There is a stark gap in wealth; typical weekly family income in Warenda is $8,000, which is far higher than the $1,125 seen in Dajarra. Dajarra is also much more walkable, with a score of 5.9 (somewhat walkable), whereas Warenda is 0.0 (car-dependent).

These two areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining remote outposts with no public transport. Both have almost flat terrain, and neither has any homes within a short walk of a transport stop. While Dajarra has more residents and a higher number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, both areas sit well outside the national figures for population density.
