Waikola Wallumbilla

Wallumbilla and Waikola are two nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Wallumbilla is a larger settlement where residents are far older, with a typical age of 46 and 18.7% aged 65 and over. It has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population (11.8%) and more people with long-term health conditions (32.9%). Waikola is sparsely populated and much younger, with a typical age of 29 and children under 15 making up 46.2% of the population. Weekly household income is far higher in Waikola, where the typical home earns $2,125 compared to $1,278 in Wallumbilla.

Both areas are almost identical in their lack of public transport, with no stops or routes serving either location. They also share a lack of groceries within a 10-minute walk. While Wallumbilla is mostly car-dependent and has some nearby amenities like a school, Waikola is fully car-dependent with no walkable services. These two places have remained distinct in their demographics and health profiles since 2011.
