Mount Sheridan Wrights Creek

Mount Sheridan (Qld) and Wrights Creek (Qld) are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Mount Sheridan is a populated hub where 21.5% of people were born overseas and 18.6% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. It is a walkable area with a score of 4.6 (somewhat walkable) and many public transport options. In contrast, Wrights Creek is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with a walkability score of 0.0. It has a much smaller share of university graduates at 6.1%, but a far higher share of high-income households, with 36.7% earning $3,000 or more a week compared to 19.0% in Mount Sheridan.

These two places are drifting further apart in their accessibility, with the gap in walkability and transport access remaining stark. However, they share some similarities, including nearly identical rates of people with long-term health conditions (around 24%) and similar numbers of people per home. While Mount Sheridan is younger and more diverse, both areas have a higher share of First Nations residents than the national figure.
