Kallangur Kurwongbah

Kallangur and Kurwongbah are neighbouring areas with very different lifestyles. Kallangur is a very walkable hub where 42.9% of homes are rented and 10.4% of residents arrived recently from overseas. In contrast, Kurwongbah is car-dependent and more affluent, with 30.5% of households earning $3,000 or more a week compared to just 10.9% in Kallangur. This difference is also seen in home ownership; 37.1% of Kurwongbah homes are owned outright, which is far higher than the 20.4% in Kallangur.

Both areas are remarkably similar when it comes to their typical weekly personal incomes, which sit around $735 to $774. They also share a similar proportion of children under 15, at about 20%. While they share these basics, they have drifted apart in other ways. Since 2011, the gap in housing and walkability has remained stark, with Kallangur offering far more nearby shops and health services than its neighbour.
