Glenvale Wilsonton

Glenvale and Wilsonton are neighbouring areas in Toowoomba with very different layouts and populations. Glenvale is a younger area where the typical resident is 33, and it has a higher share of people working or looking for work at 65.4%. It is also more likely to have larger homes, with 87.6% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Wilsonton is older, with a typical age of 42, and is much more likely to have people living alone (37.5%).

While they share similar levels of volunteerism and nearly the same number of First Nations residents, the gap in walkability is stark. Wilsonton is very walkable with a score of 6.1, while Glenvale is mostly car-dependent at 3.5.
