Darling Downs Hilbert

Hilbert and Darling Downs are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different profiles. Hilbert is a young and mobile community where the typical resident is just 29 and 59.1% of people moved there in the last five years. It is more diverse, with 24.6% of people using another language at home, and residents are more likely to have completed Year 12. In contrast, Darling Downs has a much older population, with a typical age of 39, and a significantly higher proportion of First Nations languages spoken (28.6%). Financial profiles also differ; Darling Downs has a much higher share of homes owned outright (31.6%) and more households earning $3,000 or more a week.

While the two areas are similar in terms of typical weekly income and unemployment rates, the gap in walkability is widening. Hilbert is mostly car-dependent but offers far better access to parks, schools, and groceries within a 15-minute walk. Darling Downs is car-dependent and has almost no homes within a short walk of a school or grocery store. This contrast is reflected in the street layout, where Hilbert has far higher street connectivity than Darling Downs.
