Strathfield Valkyrie

Valkyrie and Strathfield (Qld) are both sparsely populated areas in Queensland. Valkyrie is the larger of the two, with a typical resident aged 37 and homes that are quite crowded, averaging 3.8 people per home. In contrast, Strathfield (Qld) is much older, with a typical age of 60, and homes are smaller with only 1.8 people per dwelling. Weekly household incomes are well higher in Valkyrie, at $2,624 compared to $1,999 in Strathfield (Qld).

These two areas have stayed very similar in their lack of infrastructure, with both being car-dependent and having no homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport. This similarity in basic accessibility remains steady, even as the gap in typical resident age between the two places has stayed wide. Both areas also have very few residents overall and similar terrain slopes.
