Djarawong Merryburn

Merryburn and Djarawong are neighbouring rural areas in Queensland with small populations. Merryburn is younger, with a typical resident aged 39 compared to 45 in Djarawong. Family life differs between them; Merryburn has a far higher share of children under 15 (25.9% versus 16.5%) and more people caring for children unpaid (35.5% versus 20.5%). In contrast, Djarawong has a much higher share of people in de facto relationships (19.7% versus 9.7%) and far more people who identify as having no religion (48.5% versus 31.7%).

These two areas share many common traits, including a total lack of unemployment and an identical share of detached houses. Both are car-dependent, as no one in either area lives within a 15-minute walk of any amenities. This shared reliance on vehicles is highlighted by the fact that both areas have no public transport stops or departures. While they are similar in typical weekly income, Merryburn is far more likely to have households earning $3,000 or more per week.
