Thagoona Walloon
Walloon and Thagoona are neighbouring areas in Ipswich with very different profiles. Walloon is a younger, more mobile place where the typical resident is 35 and 47.2% of people moved in within the last five years. It is far more walkable, with 46.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and a walkability score of 3.3 (mostly car-dependent). In contrast, Thagoona is much older, with a typical age of 43, and is strictly car-dependent with a walkability score of 0.7. Renting is also far more common in Walloon, where 28.5% of households rent compared to 14.1% in Thagoona.
Both areas share a very similar typical weekly family income of around $2,050. This shared economic baseline sits alongside other similarities, such as nearly identical rates of people needing help with daily activities and similar typical monthly mortgage payments. However, they have drifted apart in other ways; Walloon has become increasingly distinct from Thagoona as its population of children under 15 has grown to 22.1%, well higher than the 17.5% seen in Thagoona.
