Dulong Flaxton

Flaxton and Dulong are neighbouring areas in Queensland with distinct population profiles. Residents in Flaxton are far older, with a typical age of 59 compared to 49 in Dulong, and a far higher share of people aged 65 and over (36.8% versus 22.7%). This age gap is reflected in home ownership, as 52.5% of Flaxton homes are owned outright, which is far higher than the 38.6% in Dulong. In contrast, Dulong is more focused on families, with a well higher share of children under 15 and far more people caring for children unpaid (27.8% compared to 16.6% in Flaxton).

Both areas are nearly identical in their rate of volunteering, with around 21% of residents in each place giving their time. They also share a very similar housing style, as both are almost entirely made up of separate houses with three or more bedrooms. While they are both far from the city, Flaxton has a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree and more people working from home. These differences stand out against their shared lack of public transport, as neither area has any scheduled transport stops.
