Mountain Creek Warana

Mountain Creek (Qld) and Warana are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Mountain Creek (Qld) is a younger, more transient place where more people have moved in the last five years (52.4%) and adults are more likely to be working or looking for work (70.8%). It is also a hub for families, with 22.4% of residents being children under 15 and far more homes located within a 15-minute walk of a school (69.6%). In contrast, Warana has a much older population, with people aged 65 and over making up 23.1%. It is also more walkable; for example, 97.4% of homes are within 15 minutes of health services, compared to 55.0% in Mountain Creek (Qld).

Both areas are remarkably similar in their mix of people who identify as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (2.3%) and the share of residents who do not have a religion (around 49%). While Mountain Creek (Qld) has a higher typical weekly income of $1,911 compared to $1,511 in Warana, they both share very similar typical family incomes. These two neighbours show a clear contrast between a family-oriented residential hub and a more walkable area with a higher proportion of retirees.
