Capalaba Oodgeroo

Capalaba and Oodgeroo are two nearby Queensland areas with very different layouts. Capalaba is more compact and walkable, with 77.1% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and far more public transport stops per person. Oodgeroo is more spread out and has a noticeably older population; the typical resident is 47, compared to 40 in Capalaba. Oodgeroo also has a higher share of university-qualified adults (22.3% versus 17.0% in Capalaba) and more households earning $3,000 or more a week (26.3% versus 20.4% in Capalaba).

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, including almost identical typical weekly household incomes of around $1,800. They also have very similar rates of people needing help with daily activities and those who have served in the Defence Force. While these similarities remain, some gaps are shifting. The difference in typical age has widened since 2011, and Oodgeroo has seen a flip in the lead for the share of homes owned outright, which is now 7.5 percentage points higher than in Capalaba.
