Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 9.4 km apart · Neurum profile · Woodford profile

Neurum Woodford

Woodford (Qld) and Neurum are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Woodford (Qld) is a larger hub where people are younger, with a typical age of 38, and 13.7% of households earn $3,000 or more a week. It is more walkable, described as mostly car-dependent, and 24.9% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school. In contrast, Neurum is a small, sparsely populated area where the typical resident is far older at 48. Residents there are more likely to own their homes outright (53.8%) and have higher rates of people with no religion (47.2%).

These two places share very similar typical weekly incomes, around $1,380, and nearly identical rent prices. However, the gap in how people get around is widening, as Woodford (Qld) maintains a variety of walkable services and schools while Neurum remains strictly car-dependent. While both areas sit far below the national figure for adults working or looking for work, Neurum has a higher share at 49.0% compared to 32.4% in Woodford (Qld).
