Karumba Yagoonya

Karumba and Yagoonya are two very different Queensland areas. Karumba is a more populated place with a much older population; its typical resident is 55 and 25.5% of people are seniors. In contrast, Yagoonya is sparsely populated and far younger, with a typical age of just 22. Karumba also has more local amenities, with about 62% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while Yagoonya is completely car-dependent. There are also gaps in income and health, with typical weekly pay far higher in Yagoonya ($1,125 compared to $640) and long-term health conditions far higher in Karumba.

Both areas are almost entirely car-dependent, with no residents using public transport to get around. This shared reliance on cars exists despite other differences, such as Yagoonya's much higher rate of people working from home (27.3% versus 6.2% in Karumba). While Karumba is more established, Yagoonya has seen more recent movement, with 81% of its residents arriving in the last five years.
