Kalkie Qunaba

Kalkie and Qunaba are neighbouring areas with very different layouts and lifestyles. Kalkie is a more urban environment, described as somewhat walkable, where 53.8% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries. It has a younger feel, with a typical resident aged 40 and a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals (16.2%). Qunaba is car-dependent and more rural; its residents are far older, with a typical age of 48, and a far higher share of homes are owned outright (45.9% compared to 34.8% in Kalkie).

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people who speak little or no English. They also share very similar typical weekly household incomes, with Kalkie at $1,599 and Qunaba at $1,619.
