Horse Creek Walterhall

Walterhall and Horse Creek are neighbouring areas in Queensland, but they differ significantly in their household and social makeup. Walterhall is an older area where the typical resident is 54 and a large number of people live alone (50%) or in one-parent families (40.7%). It is also more likely to have residents who own their homes outright (63.8%) and those without a motor vehicle (19.3%). In contrast, Horse Creek has more large homes with three or more bedrooms (83.3%) and a higher share of people working from home (12%).

Both areas have very similar typical weekly incomes of around $460 and share the same lack of nearby public transport. However, the gap in how people move into these areas is widening; 40.8% of Horse Creek residents moved there in the last five years, compared to just 21.1% in Walterhall. This trend is consistent with Horse Creek having a much higher share of homes with a mortgage and more people in couples with children.
