Richmond Hill Towers Hill

Richmond Hill (Qld) and Towers Hill are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Richmond Hill is the larger of the two, where residents are younger with a typical age of 39 and 21.4% are children under 15. It is more walkable, with 98.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park and 65.7% near groceries. In contrast, Towers Hill is much older, with a typical resident aged 51 and a far older First Nations population. It is less walkable, with only 25.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries.

Both areas are very similar in their typical personal and family incomes, and they share an identical average school advantage score. This common ground exists despite other gaps, such as Richmond Hill having a higher share of separate houses (87.2% compared to 69.0% in Towers Hill) and a higher proportion of people who have moved in the last five years.
