Other gaps are significant: typical weekly rent is far higher in Spring Mountain (Qld) at $445 compared to $185 in White Rock (Ipswich - Qld), and weekly household incomes are well higher in Spring Mountain (Qld) at $2,399.

Both areas are almost equally reliant on cars for daily needs, with very few homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services.
