Duaringa Goowarra

Duaringa and Goowarra are two nearby areas in Queensland with very different characters. Duaringa is more populated and has a much higher share of children, at 23.7%, compared to none in Goowarra. This younger feel in Duaringa is consistent with its higher share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (23.7%) and a higher number of adults working or looking for work (61.4%). In contrast, Goowarra is a sparsely populated area where residents are far older, with a typical age of 53. Goowarra also has a far higher typical weekly family income of $3,249, while Duaringa's is $1,575.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked differently, with Duaringa seeing a far higher number of people move in over the last five years. They do share some common ground, such as typical household incomes that are nearly the same. Both areas also lack public transport and health services within walking distance. While Duaringa is mostly car-dependent, it is still far more walkable than Goowarra, which is described as car-dependent.
