Drayton Glenvale

Glenvale and Drayton are neighbouring areas in Toowoomba with distinct profiles. Glenvale is a younger area where the typical resident is 33, and homes are often larger, with 87.6% having three or more bedrooms. It is also a place of significant movement, as 55.9% of people moved there in the last five years. In contrast, Drayton has better access to services; it has far more public transport stops and departures, and a much higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries (46.7%) and health services (18.0%).
