Killaloe Port Douglas

Port Douglas and Killaloe are neighbours in Queensland, but they offer very different lifestyles. Port Douglas is a more populated hub with a younger feel, where 42.8% of homes are rented and 31.9% of residents were born overseas. It is a somewhat walkable area with a diverse mix of housing, including many townhouses and apartments. In contrast, Killaloe is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with residents who are far older; the typical person there is 54. Half of the homes in Killaloe are owned outright, and every single one is a separate house.

These two areas have tracked apart over time, with the gap in recent arrivals from overseas widening significantly, as 31.0% of Port Douglas residents arrived from abroad recently compared to none in Killaloe. Despite this, they share some basic traits. Both have a similar proportion of First Nations people, and the typical weekly personal income is nearly the same, sitting around $824 in Port Douglas and $855 in Killaloe.
