Oonoonba Pimlico

Pimlico (Qld) and Oonoonba are neighbouring areas in Townsville with very different layouts. Pimlico (Qld) is very walkable, with a high number of public transport stops and a typical resident aged 39. Oonoonba is mostly car-dependent and has a much younger population, with the typical resident aged 31. There are also stark differences for First Nations residents; those in Oonoonba have far higher household incomes and Year 12 completion rates, while those in Pimlico (Qld) face a far higher unemployment rate.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining closely matched in their typical weekly family incomes, home ownership rates, and the share of adults with a university degree. However, they differ in housing styles, as Oonoonba has far more separate houses and three-bedroom homes. In contrast, Pimlico (Qld) has a higher share of townhouses and flats, which helps explain why it has far more homes without a motor vehicle.
