Idalia Murray

Idalia and Murray are neighbouring areas in Townsville with very different living patterns. Idalia is a family-oriented area where 20.7% of people are children and the typical household earns $2,524 a week. It has a highly qualified workforce, with 31.3% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Murray is dominated by single-person households, as 100% of people there live alone. It is a much younger area with a typical resident aged 22, and the typical weekly household income is far lower at $1,325.

These two areas share a similar proportion of First Nations people and have almost identical access to parks, with nearly every home within a 15 minute walk. They also have a similar typical personal weekly income of around $1,200 to $1,300. However, the contrast in housing is stark; Idalia has many four-bedroom houses, while almost every home in Murray is a one-bedroom rental.
