Highworth Perwillowen

Highworth and Perwillowen are neighbouring areas in Queensland that differ sharply in age and wealth. Highworth is much younger, with 19.5% of its residents being children under 15, while the typical resident in Perwillowen is far older at 54. This age gap is mirrored in their incomes; Perwillowen has a much higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (26.2% compared to 13.2% in Highworth). Highworth is also more walkable, with 99.6% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park, compared to just 15.3% in Perwillowen.

Both areas are very similar in their typical weekly household income, which sits around $1,600. They also share a lack of public transport options, with no public transport stops or departures per 1,000 people in either place. This total reliance on cars is consistent across both neighbourhoods, as neither area has any homes without a motor vehicle.
