Takura Toogoom

Toogoom and Takura are neighbouring Queensland areas with very different profiles. Toogoom is far older, with a typical resident aged 52 and 30.4% of people aged 65 and over. This is consistent with a much higher share of residents living with a long-term health condition (40.0%) and more people needing help with daily activities. In contrast, Takura has higher incomes, with a typical household earning $1,864 a week compared to $1,081 in Toogoom. Takura also has a higher share of working adults (62.6%) and more families with children.

Both areas share several practical realities, such as having no public transport stops and almost no residents who speak little or no English. They are also nearly identical in terms of volunteer rates and the typical weekly rent. While Toogoom has more people who have moved recently and a higher share of renters, the two areas remain similar in their lack of walkable schools or health services.
