Durham Downs Waikola

Durham Downs and Waikola are both sparsely populated areas in Queensland. There are significant differences in their residents; for example, the share of people with no religion is far higher in Waikola (61.5%) than in Durham Downs (22.2%). Durham Downs is also a wealthier area, with a typical weekly household income of $2,666, which is well higher than the $2,125 seen in Waikola. Furthermore, Durham Downs has seen more movement, with 41.7% of people moving in the last five years compared to 29.6% in Waikola.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining very small, non-residential places. They share a total lack of public transport, schools, and walkable amenities. They are also alike in that neither has any residents aged 65 and over, or any people who speak a language other than English at home. Both areas remain far below the national figure for people with a mental health condition or those needing help with daily activities.
