Kentville Spring Creek

Spring Creek (Lockyer Valley - Qld) and Kentville are neighbouring rural areas with very different populations. Spring Creek is much younger, with a typical resident aged 36, and has a far higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people at 23.3%. In contrast, Kentville is far older, with a typical age of 48, and has a much higher share of people who volunteer (19.6% compared to 3.4% in Spring Creek). Education and work also differ, as 47.8% of Kentville residents finished Year 12, while only 26.1% did in Spring Creek, and far more adults in Kentville are working or looking for work.

These two areas are separated by a gap in mobility that is widening, with 39.6% of Kentville residents moving in the last five years compared to just 15.8% in Spring Creek. Despite this, they share a similar housing style, as every single home in both areas is a separate house. They also both lack local walkability, with no homes in either area within a 15-minute walk of groceries or a park.
