Kilcoy Woolmar

Kilcoy and Woolmar are neighbouring areas in Queensland with very different layouts. Kilcoy is a more developed hub, described as somewhat walkable, where 88.4% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school and 83.4% are near health services. In contrast, Woolmar is car-dependent, with 0% of homes within a short walk of schools or health services, and a higher share of large homes, with 97.8% having three or more bedrooms. There are also stark differences among First Nations residents; for example, the typical First Nations household income in Woolmar is $3,249, which is far higher than the $1,187 seen in Kilcoy.

Both areas share a very similar profile in many ways, including a typical resident age of 38 and almost identical typical weekly personal incomes of around $750 to $800. They also both have a high proportion of people born overseas and those who use a language other than English at home, although these figures are well higher in Woolmar. These shared traits show that while Kilcoy provides the local amenities and services, both areas track closely in terms of their general population age and economic standing.
