Dulong Mapleton

Mapleton and Dulong are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different profiles. Mapleton is much older, with a typical resident aged 59 and a far higher share of people aged 65 and over (36.1%). It is also more walkable, with a score of 3.4 (mostly car-dependent) and many more homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries (61.6%) and health services (58.1%). In contrast, Dulong is wealthier and more family-focused; typical weekly household incomes are far higher at $1,767, and 27.8% of people there provide unpaid childcare.

Both areas sit around the national figure for the share of adults working or looking for work, though Dulong is slightly closer to the Australian average. They are very similar in other ways, such as having almost the same share of First Nations residents and a nearly identical drive time to the city. While Mapleton has a higher share of people living alone (29.5%) and more outright home ownership (53.7%), Dulong has far more large homes, with 85.8% having three or more bedrooms.
