Felton South Leyburn

Leyburn and Felton South are two nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Leyburn is an older community where the typical resident is 53 and 27.7% of people are aged 65 or over. In contrast, Felton South has a much younger feel, with 25.6% of its population being children under 15. There is also a significant gap in wealth and education; typical weekly household income in Felton South is $1,875, which is far higher than the $947 seen in Leyburn, and a far higher share of Felton South residents have completed Year 12 (66.7% compared to 30.9%).

These differences in demographics and income have only grown since 2011. Despite these shifting gaps, both areas remain effectively alike in their lack of public transport, with no one commuting by bus or train and no homes within a 15-minute walk of a stop. They also share similar rates of mental health conditions, sitting around 12%, and neither area has any residents who speak little or no English.
