Mount Walker Mount Walker West

Mount Walker and Mount Walker West are two sparsely populated neighbouring areas in Queensland. Mount Walker has a higher proportion of volunteers (25.9%) and people providing unpaid care (22.2%), while Mount Walker West is far more likely to have adults with a bachelor degree or higher (25.0% compared to 9.3% in Mount Walker). Mount Walker West also has a well higher share of one-parent families (29.6%) and a well higher typical weekly household income of $1,875.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011 in their reliance on cars, as both remain entirely car-dependent. They share an identical proportion of residents aged 65 and over (19.4%) and both have no recorded unemployment. This lack of public transport and local amenities is common to both, and they both sit well below the national figure for people who speak a language other than English at home.
