In contrast, Douglas (Toowoomba - Qld) has a higher share of homes owned outright (52.9% vs 39.4%) and more people working from home (19.3% vs 8.1%).

Despite this, the two areas share a similar proportion of First Nations residents (around 5% each) and both are car-dependent, with no public transport stops in either location. They are also roughly the same distance from the city, with drive times around 110 minutes.
