Geham Whichello

Geham and Whichello are two nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Geham is a larger community where residents are far older, with a typical age of 47 compared to 37 in Whichello. There is a stark contrast in family and social life; Whichello has a far higher share of children under 15 (29.0% versus 14.3% in Geham) and more people in de facto relationships. High-income earners are also far more common in Geham, where 11.0% earn over $2,000 a week, while no one in Whichello reaches that level.

Everyday life in both places is very similar in other ways. Both are car-dependent and have almost no homes within a 15-minute walk of shops, parks or health services. They also share a similar typical weekly income of around $690 and the same average number of people per home. While Geham has a few more public transport stops and one school, both areas remain largely remote from these services.
