Foulden Racecourse

Racecourse and Foulden are neighbouring areas in Queensland, though Foulden is sparsely populated with only 9 residents. There are stark differences in wealth and layout between them. Typical weekly household income is far higher in Foulden at $4,250, compared to $1,850 in Racecourse. In contrast, Racecourse has more street connectivity with 6 intersections per square kilometre, while Foulden has just 1. Racecourse also has a far larger number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, with 8 residents compared to none in Foulden.

Both areas are effectively car-dependent, as they share very low walkability scores. This common lack of accessibility is seen in how few homes in either place are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, or schools. While Foulden has a typical resident age that is noticeably older at 45, and Racecourse is slightly younger at 42, both sit above the national figure.
