Woorabinda Wooroona

Woorabinda and Wooroona are nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Woorabinda is a young place where the typical resident is 23, and homes are often crowded, with 3.3 people per home and 1.2 people per bedroom. In contrast, Wooroona is sparsely populated with just 12 people, and residents are far older with a typical age of 31. There is a huge gap in wealth; the typical weekly family income in Wooroona is $2,749, while in Woorabinda it is $707.

Both areas are almost entirely dependent on cars, as no homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport or a 15-minute walk of groceries. This shared reliance on vehicles is common to both, and Wooroona's typical household income of $1,875 is about the same as the national figure. While Woorabinda has more amenities like schools and health services within walking distance, both areas remain largely disconnected from public transport networks.
