Nanum Wenlock

Nanum and Wenlock are two very different Queensland locations. Nanum is a young area where the typical resident is 29 and weekly household income is far higher at $2,715. It is more developed, with two schools and a mostly car-dependent walkability score, while Wenlock is car-dependent and sparsely populated. In contrast, Wenlock is far older with a typical age of 57. While typical household income in Wenlock is much lower at $900, First Nations households there earn far more, with a typical weekly income of $8,000 compared to $2,625 in Nanum.

Both areas share a similar typical weekly family income of around $3,200 and have nearly identical terrain slopes. However, the gap in typical personal income between them has widened, with Nanum now well higher at $1,480 per week compared to $933 in Wenlock. This divide is also seen in daily life; almost all Nanum homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services, while no homes in Wenlock have that same access.
