Silverwood Wildash

Wildash and Silverwood are both sparsely populated neighbouring areas in Queensland. There are stark differences in their resident profiles; Silverwood has a much older population, with 36.2% aged 65 and over compared to 13.3% in Wildash. Education and income also diverge sharply, with 29.9% of adults in Wildash holding a bachelor degree or higher and 47.6% of households earning $3,000 or more a week, while Silverwood has no residents with a degree and no households in that top income bracket. Wildash also has a far higher rate of outright home ownership at 85.7%.

These two areas are almost identical in their lack of infrastructure, with both being completely car-dependent and having no public transport or shops within a 15-minute walk. This shared isolation is mirrored in their similar proportions of people living alone, which sits at around 28%. While they share these basic living conditions, the gap in their social structures is wide, with Silverwood seeing far higher rates of unpaid care and a much larger share of people in de facto relationships.
